The Ethical Payments Foundation:
A mouthpiece for positive change
Amplifying the voices of those most affected by a disconnected financial ecosystem.
We’re a non-profit entity empowering financially isolated economies by sharing their experiences with the world.
Over the past two decades, a handful of key banking institutions have controlled and implemented stringent regulations that have left many regions of the world unable to participate in international trade. Originally designed to benefit the global financial ecosystem by limiting fraudulent transactions, the byproduct of these regulations has left individuals, businesses, and entire communities in situations that are far from beneficial.
We are not trying to solve every aspect of every problem. Our goal is to bridge the gap in knowledge and awareness through a platform that augments the stories told by those most affected by financial disconnection.
We’ve seen the effects of this first-hand. We’ve heard the stories on the ground.
Now, we’re committed to creating a space that advocates for positive change; to instil a level of understanding that extends beyond borders.
EPF is the megaphone;
enhancing the voices of
those that need to be heard.
We’re digging deep to share what matters.
Challenging the norms
We’re building a platform that speaks to the more nuanced problems experienced around the world, outside of the traditional news media.
Generating exclusive insights
We're close enough to the problem to share stories and information that are otherwise hard to come by without first-hand experience.
Providing unfettered access
We’re creating a transparent and collaborative environment that provides all stakeholders with the information they need to support their initiatives.
A source of stories and experiences from the ground.
The Ethical Payments Foundation is actively shifting the world's perception of the struggles faced by millions of financially isolated individuals and entities across the globe.
