Housekeepers, nannies, drivers and other domestic workers are often paid in cash, with no record of what they earned. Many also send part of their wages to family in another town or country. A simple app that lets families pay wages to a phone, and lets workers save and send money, can serve both sides.
Talk to workers and families

Make paying wages simple
A family should be able to pay wages in a few taps, on the same day each week or month, with a record both sides can see.

Help workers send money home
Many domestic workers support family elsewhere. Show the full cost and the amount that arrives before they send, so they can trust the app with their wages.
Grow through communities
Domestic workers often know each other through churches, community groups and WhatsApp groups. One worker who trusts your app can bring many more.
