Company
Neema
App providing checking and sending money for unbanked workers
We built a digital wallet app for underbanked workers in the U.S. It lets users cash their paychecks, send money internationally to family in 90 countries, and use a debit card in stores and ATMs. It's designed specifically to handle the needs of unbanked Americans who struggle to manage day-to-day finances and send remittances affordably and conveniently.
We live in Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel, and the company would remain based here after YC.
We are from Tel Aviv and have good local access to talent and resources. Although our users are primarily in the U.S, we can operate our backend and product development remotely from Tel Aviv where we have our base.
