About Us
Our Mission
To help people save, build credit and build wealth, together.
Sou Sou is a financial technology business and social banking service that operates via websites and mobile apps. We partner with banks to help people launch sou sou funds, which are saving and credit-building accounts designed to help people save, build credit and build wealth, together. Sou Sou also helps banks find, recruit and cultivate customers that meet their lending criteria.
Our Tradition
Sou Sou was inspired by traditional village savings and loans models that exist around the world. In West Africa and the Caribbean, it is called sousou. In South Korea, the term is gaedon. In the Middle East, it is called gameya. Millions of people - roughly 80% of the world's population, according to the World Bank - have been using informal savings and loan practices for centuries as a way to save and invest when banks and venture capital are not an option. We are modernizing this practice for the 21st-century borrower.
