The democratization of finance — a mission that goes beyond ownership and access to finance.
Since we first started GoParity, the democratization of finance and the greening of our economy have been our greatest aspirations. What started as a simple tool to lend money to renewable energy projects, is now a means for people to use their money for good within the framework of the 17 Sustainable Development goals (SDGs).
When we talk about democratization, we think beyond ownership and access to finance — it’s also about quality of life, security, and fulfilling life goals, which, whether we like or not, sometimes only money can buy.
Today I am thrilled to share the launch of a new feature that is the result of listening to the requests of many of our users and that I have personally wished for for a very long time.
A Green Savings Plan 🌱
Little by little, and with almost no effort, a GoParity Savings Plan will help everyone save for a lifetime goal or a rainy day.
It takes three easy steps:
- You choose the amount to save every month, from as little as 25€
- GoParity will collect it directly from the bank account chosen by you
- Your savings will grow while making sustainability happen since all the money you put aside will be invested in a diversified portfolio of sustainable projects.
This Savings Plan is a parallel investor’s main account, so they are still able to transfer other amounts to their GoParity account or invest in projects at their will.
Choosing the economy you want to see
As savers, we should have the power to choose where our money is going.
We are amid a pandemic and significant uncertainty still lies ahead of us. Families and households are aware of this and household savings are peaking throughout Europe. As savers, we have no say about how that money we put in the Bank is being used.
In a time of crisis like this, we have the opportunity to choose what new world we want to see emerging from it. Our investors have been showing us that this sort of empowerment is ever-growing. After a drop at the beginning of this pandemic, in the last two months, we have hit records in the number of users and the amount invested through our platform. This is a clear signal for us, that people want to choose the impact of their money.
We hope our free Savings Plans will help families achieve their goals and even a better life quality, be it because we make it easier to save for a rainy day, the trip of a lifetime, or the education of our children while, all along, you make sustainability happen.
We want to hear from you.
We want to grow with you.
As always, we would be very happy to get your feedback about our Savings Plan. Feel free to do so by directly replying to this email. I say goodbye (for now!) sharing three quotes that I love about planning ahead, I hope you find them as inspiring as I do!
