AAvance: Driving financial inclusion in Latin America

AAvance is a Fintech company dedicated to promoting financial inclusion for the migrant, returnee and unbanked population in Latin America, with a strong focus on gender equality. Through their digital wallet, Visa debit card, and other services, they are committed to enabling true opportunity for inclusion, socialisation, and financial education for everyone.

In addition to AAvance’s vision, they have always been aware of the power of women within the organisation. By the end of 2023, four out of six AAvance employees were women, each with excellent skills and strengths.

They recognise that they needed more knowledge and analysis to truly generate an impact. Undergoing the 2X Certification process gave them the opportunity to understand where they were, what they had, and how they can further their progress.

They found the process challenging. While AAvance has always worked towards social impact, and had a very clear direction, they identified opportunities to improve their internal processes, communication and impact measurement and management. The process emphasised the importance of consistent data collection to drive decision-making.
