A few years ago, a small team of people determined to transform banking
launched a savings platform for all. That platform was the first step
toward ease, fast and reliability. Optimum credit union was launched
so anyone with an email account or phone number can send or receive money.
Since Optimum credit union first launched in 2012 we've provided over 5,000,000
customers with convenient and affordable digital payments. For around 20%
of them, their FST Bank account is their first formal financial account.
We are gearing up to reach more people, faster. Our goal over the next
3 years is to enter more markets and empower over 100 million consumers
and 10 million businesses with access to relevant, reliable and affordable
financial services. To achieve this, we are building out an online and
offline payments ecosystem that brings together the best digital products
from across the marketplace along with our own innovative features, and makes
them available to anyone with a smartphone and email address.
