Singapore might not feel like a natural home for a mobile banking app built on a vision to increase access to credit, but the city is not all glass skyscrapers and besuited bankers; and women are the ones most likely to fall through the cracks. That’s why Lucy is here. If you’re an entrepreneur, or a momtrepreneur, or a micropreneur, then it’s like your bank, but better.
In today’s episode, I speak to Lucy’s impressive co-founder, Debbie Watkins, about her globe-spanning career and how a better banking app can empower entrepreneurial women in ways that traditional banks simply can’t.
You can find Lucy at https://welucy.com/ (and while you’re there, check out the Team page with its awesome art, and equally awesome talent https://welucy.com/team-lucy/)
You can learn more about myself, Brendan le Grange, on my LinkedIn page (feel free to connect), my action-adventure novels are on Amazon, some versions even for free, and my work with ConfirmU and our gamified psychometric scores is at https://confirmu.com/ and on episode 24 of this very show https://www.howtolendmoneytostrangers.show/episodes/episode-24
