data
for good
Financial data is a resource for social change.
We believe financial data holds untapped potential to drive meaningful change. By making private sector financial data both accessible and discoverable, we enable impactful research and inform decision-making - helping reduce poverty and inequality and improving economic wellbeing.
Our Solutions
Our vision
Until now, financial data has remained largely locked away and unused, often only used for profit-driven purposes or product development. Barriers such as privacy concerns, regulatory hurdles, and more have prevented its broader availability for research and social good.
Our vision is to make this data widely accessible for the first time, partnering with change makers to be part of a solution helping build a stronger economy and a more equitable society.
Imagine a world where academia, NGOs, public and private sectors unite with access to new sources of data, co-ordinating efforts with the shared purpose of improving people’s lives.
