Little Wallet partners with Visa to enhance financial literacy among kids in Southeast Asia

By Leandra Monteiro

Little Wallet, a Singapore-based FinTech, with the mission to promote financial literacy amongst kids and teens, has signed a partnership with Visa, under the Visa Fintech Fast Track Program.

With rising inflation and the cost of everyday goods going up, kids and teens need to be aware of the current economic climate and be financially prepared for the future.

Under Visa’s Fintech Fast Track Program, Little Wallet will leverage and access Visa’s network and capabilities to grow card issuance in the region. The program provides FinTech start-ups like Little Wallet with dedicated expertise and support, faster onboarding and access to a growing partner network.

Dung Dang, Visa Country Manager of Vietnam and Laos, said, “Visa has always championed financial literacy. Our Financial Literacy Program in Vietnam, which we started a decade ago in cooperation with the Central Committee of the Vietnam Students’ Association (CCVSA), demonstrates that commitment to educate our young people on financial management. Our partnership with Little Wallet to launch in Southeast Asia is timely, given the high interest observed from youngsters to build up their wealth, but seeing the gaps in not knowing where they can go to for reliable financial advice.”

Little Wallet, founder, Rahul Sharma, shared, “We are incredibly excited to be part of the prestigious group of startups selected for the Visa Fintech Fast Track Program. Being accepted into this program is a testament to Visa’s endorsement of Little Wallet, further enhancing our customers’ confidence in our offerings.”
