MEME is a financial education venture that provides “manimo”, an app for parents and children to learn the value and importance of money. Parents and children will learn about money practically through spending, saving, and earning. By incorporating cashless payment as a tool, income and expenditures are automatically entered, allowing parents and children to keep track of the flow of money. In the future, as cashless society accelerates, financial knowledge and ability will become essential for survival. MEME will continue to provide financial services and education tailored to families raising children, while leveraging its connections with educational
institutions and parents.
