We are a coalition of banks, fintechs, and non-profits dedicated to transitioning disaster relief from the logistics of goods to the logistics of digital funds. By leveraging existing commercial payment rails, we deliver purchasing power to survivors in hours, not weeks.
Four principles that make digital aid faster, safer, and more human.
Digital payments bypass destroyed roads and overwhelmed ports. We deliver funds in hours, not weeks—because recovery can't wait for a truck.
We don't guess what survivors need. We empower them with funds to decide—whether that's fuel for a generator, diapers for a child, or a hot meal.
Unlike cash, digital funds can be frozen if lost. Unlike checks, they don't require a functional mailbox. Every transaction creates an audit trail.
We reach the unbanked and underbanked through cardless ATM access and mobile-first solutions—ensuring the most vulnerable aren't excluded from aid.
Made up of government, foundations and charities across the globe.
