Challenges to-date

Freelancers and those in the gig economy have long been ignored when it comes to banking. With the majority of those in this category working on an hourly rate, and without what is considered a ‘steady income’, banking providers have been unable to meet the needs of this subsect of workers. In the UK alone, they make up 7.25million of the population (Source).

Even though these individuals can substantiate earnings through tax returns, the lack of steady payments through an employer doesn’t fit well with existing account opening and risk assessment systems. This can make getting credit, refinancing a home, or opening other accounts difficult.

Our solution

No matter the size or location, build tailored, financial solutions that your freelance customers will love. This includes the ability to create comprehensive accounts, remittance offerings so anyone can send money to friends and families locally and abroad, easy applications for financing and software to streamline tedious financial tasks.

The possibilities are endless

Any business servicing this dynamic sector can provide additional products that can support their banking needs. There is high adoption from freelancers for apps and software products as it is needed for their day-to-day work, so businesses are primed to successfully reach their audience through new services whilst building brand affinity and offering revenue-generating products all on one platform.

Designed with sole traders in mind, through Manigo’s API suite or whitelabel solution, anyone can build a comprehensive account solution for their freelancer and gig economy customers. Plus, supplemented with the Manigo Back Office Portal, anyone in your team can track critical metrics about your customers, their pain points and their usage.
