"Now, we are on a mission to remove financial barriers for Latinos in the U.S. and we are doing it with a social focus, because we all know that not everyone may need a bank, but everyone needs a Pana (pal)."
Latinos represent the fastest growing population in the U.S. with a purchasing power of $1.7 billion and yet is currently one of the most financially underserved in the country.
That's why Pana was born as a new banking experience that responds to the needs and concerns of Latinos, starting with the most basic and urgent items, such as opening an online account, sending money abroad and even lending to each other.
"Y Combinator is the top startup accelerator in the world, and we look forward to joining the ranks of companies like Airbnb, Dropbox, Rappi, Instacart, Stripe, and many other amazing companies that have been through the YC program."
