For months we have been explaining what we are and why we are like this. It all responds to an idea: that Catalans can build our financial sovereignty. And, in the end, distilling and distilling, we have taken the shape we want: we are a community fintech, a fincom. And this model is a pioneer in the world.\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Are there traditional banks? Yes, and we know how they work<\/b>, that\u2019s why we\u2019ve dedicated a series of <\/span>podcasts<\/span><\/a> to protect ourselves from bank abuse. Community banks? Also exist! 11Onze President James S\u00e8ne has often talked about how we have taken the example of African-American community banks in the United States. If you want to learn more about community banking, you can do so <\/span>here<\/span><\/a>. That fintechs already exist? Of course, they are an <\/span>alternative<\/span><\/a> model for the future, from which we have incorporated many ideas. But, in the world, 11Onze is a pioneer.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we needed a new word to explain ourselves: <\/span>\u201cfincom\u201d, the contraction of fintech and community<\/b>. And what does it mean to be a fincom? Imagine that we are like a small town, with a community of neighbours who want to specialise in the financial world. A fincom is a website where we learn to empower ourselves collectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

And, as in any city, when you are part of the 11Onze community, you have <\/span>La Pla\u00e7a<\/b>, a digital site that brings together all the services to build your financial independence: the financial institution, where you can open an account with <\/span>El Canut<\/b><\/a>; a school where you can <\/span>Learn<\/b><\/a>; a cinema and a radio with <\/span>11OnzeTV<\/b><\/a>; a newspaper stand with the <\/span>Magazine<\/b><\/a>; and a neighbourhood with other users and the<\/span> 24\/7 attention of the agents<\/b>. Later on, we will have a <\/span>Marketplace <\/b>where you can buy products and services. And, by the way, we even have our own currency, <\/span>Les Peles<\/b>!<\/span><\/p>\n

So,<\/span> if anyone asks you if 11Onze is a bank, the answer is simple: no, it is much, much more<\/b>. Can 11Onze do everything a bank does? Progressively, yes, and we will do things that are unimaginable for a bank, because we are counting on you to do them. <\/span>Let\u2019s take a look back at how we have explained our fincom!<\/b><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
