FLOWE
“ WE ARE ALWAYS LOOKING AT INNOVATION AS A POWERFUL FORCE TO RESHAPE THE ECONOMY FOR A BETTER WORLD ”
IVAN MAZZOLENI CEO , FLOWE
sustainability projects run by Flowe , such as planting trees in Guatemala . “ Thanks to our partnership with Zeroco2 , an Italian startup that acts and operates in Guatemala ( but not only ), we are also involved in replanting trees and helping local families to be educated about how to take care of plants and enjoy their fruits as a source of food and economic exchange ,” says Mazzoleni .
Working with customers to create a better world Ultimately , Flowe is as much about technology and innovation as it is about its people and the wider spectrum of humanity . Mazzoleni could not imagine himself operating in a different environment , because the sense of purpose the bank provides him with , is , he says , inspirational . “ The single biggest thing that motivates me most when I wake up early in the morning and go to work , is that at Flowe , we are helping people to fully understand how much money they have , how they are spending and how they can automatically save a certain percentage of their money . We are also helping them to invest in their futures – and this produces an outstanding and massive impact on their lives .”
He continues : “ Our scope is to educate people - especially as an activist brand . We are fighting two big enemies . One is unemployment , especially here in Italy where the unemployment rate is very high . We have a goal to partner with them to fully explore and then transform their digital passion into a new profession or a new way to obtain revenues .
“ The second big monster is the climate crisis . We would like to reduce the waste of energy and resources . We are going to amplify and fully exploit our banking proposition , also in synergy with net-zero and ESG . These are major trends and all the challenger players are entering into the credit and investments landscape .”
Mazzoleni concludes , “ I think that as a fintech ecosystem and industry , all players involved have a crucial role . We need to democratise access to financial instrument services . Frankly speaking , a human being without any kind of access to financial tools and services is a human being who is disengaged with society .”
