BanKa combines Finance, AI and lifestyle to empower Gen Z and Millennials to make smarter spending decisions, build credit, and avoid unhealthy debt.
Traditional BNPL is broken for young consumers
46% of BNPL users miss payments, leading to fees and debt accumulation with no credit benefit.
Young consumers are exposed to financial misinformation online and have no trusted source for spending help, leaving them to figure it out alone.
Traditional BNPL doesn't report to credit bureaus, missing the opportunity to build credit history.
Financial institutions don't explain what constitutes "good financial behavior" or how decisions on credit worthiness, interest rates, and limits are made - leaving young people confused and locked out.

Building the future of BNPL
Founder & CEO
With over 10 years of experience in banking, including 2 years on the front line as a personal banker in retail banking, gaining a Professional Banker certification, Daniel has a deep understanding and passion for empowering the current and new generation with the financial literacy that isn't afforded to most until it's too late.
Over the years Daniel has been a source of advice for family, friends and customers when it came to understanding how they should treat various financial situations - the new trend of fast-credit has made credit consumption become unhealthy in a lot of cases with major platforms failing to provide the required tools to ensure unhealthy habits do not grow.
Daniel used his creative mindset to create a platform that gives customers what they need whilst using the very tool they want - BNPL. Daniel believes that by creating features designed to bring financial transparency, rewarding good financial behaviour and flexibility this will promote a sustainable financial lifestyle.
His experience in finance ranges and varies, but the constant has been his consistency in being successful in whichever role he took on within finance.
Mantra: Einstein once said "creativity is intelligence having fun" - so let's have some fun.
