Change International is a student startup fintech company that seeks to help alleviate poverty and the opportunity gap by funding micro-loans through the use of the spare change of credit card transactions.We are targeting philanthropic young female professionals in the Milwaukee area ages 22-35, making $50,000-$80,000 who seek to have a more personal impact with their charitable giving.The cycle of poverty prevents individuals from building credit or gaining collateral, making these individuals ineligible to receive financing from banks and other financial institutions. Change provides an alternative and attainable way to receive the necessary funding to break this cycle by translating the spare change from monetary transactions into real change into the lives of others.
