I've spent 20+ in the technology industry identifying problems and, where I could, solving them. Because while calling out an issue is a start, moving past talking to 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 is how we make a difference. It's how we make things better.DivDat has a history of moving from words to actions, primarily in the invoicing and payment systems sphere. But several years ago, we became aware of a shocking and more obstinate problem than we typically dealt with — the exclusion of more than 1 in every 5 people in our country from online banking and bill payment systems.Why does this matter? What effect does this disparity — between the more than 20% of citizens who are offline, underbanked, or unbanked, and the rest of us — have in everyday life?Imagine being unable to write a check, use a credit card, or transfer money online to pay your bills — to keep your lights on, your water running, your home warm.Imagine having to rely exclusively on cash. Having to travel to payment centers with limited hours. Having to carve out time during your workday to stand in line at utility companies to submit your payment.Imagine having to use a bill paying or check cashing service or borrow (at significant additional expense) through payday or pawnshop loans to make your payments.Sadly, more than 20% of our fellow Americans don't have to imagine those scenarios — they live them. They have been left behind, excluded from services the rest of us not only enjoy, but now expect. This is a problem, right?The good news: There's a solution. DivDat has developed a kiosk network that offers free, convenient, self-serve payment services to the underserved. We created a technological solution for a real-world problem — a solution that brings the more than 20% closer to the rest of us and provides greater inclusion for those who are denied access to services that should be universal.We all face an imperative to fix problems we see when it's in our power to do so. Let's work together to fix this one.
