Company mission
To tear down financial barriers to opportunity.
Our take
Only 11% of Gen Z students consider themselves to have the information needed to repay college loans. A potential remedy of this social void is Mos, a banking app targeted at students, providing help for them to build solid financial foundations.
Unlike other players in the field, Mos offers not only student loans, but a platform that helps Gen Zers save, budget and invest. Founder and CEO, Amira Yahyaoi, fled to France from Tunisia, living without access to a bank account or steady work, so knows first hand what its like to be limited by financial circumstances. Inspired by this, she created Mos with the mission to prevent further students falling into the United States’ $1.7 trillion student-debt crisis.
Digital banking is currently gaining dominance over brick-and-mortar banks which continue to see closure. Along with clever marketing - advertising the brand through informative videos of TikTok - and an excellent resource, Mos is well positioned to achieve their goal of evolving from a student bank to a financial super app. It hopes that its student-users will grow up and take Mos with them; using the bank when they land their first job or buy their first home.
