“Kullk Posters”, a proposal to include people from rurality into the financial system in Ecuador

 
 

Kullk Posters is an inclusive financial system that allows the payment of basic services using electronic money.

This service encourage and inform people about electronic money. We created smart posters using QR and NFC technologies that interact with users through an app. Also, an electronic device using open source tools was created. Using this device people can make their payments wherever there is a mobile network solving many mobility and life quality issues.

The whole system does not need internet since it works with the mobile network.
