What is the standard profile of your target customer? What has been key to your customer acquisition success?

Our target audience covers a wide range of clients, but we focus particularly on people with disabilities who face challenges when trying to open digital accounts at other financial institutions. Parabank is being transformed to be accessible and inclusive, offering a personalized and simplified experience for everyone. This commitment to inclusion has been fundamental to our customer acquisition success.
