Finding Financial Power As Females with Vrinda Gupta

Vrinda Gupta is the CEO & Co-Founder of Sequin, the first debit card and banking in U.S. history designed by and for women and minorities. She is a globally recognized credit expert featured by Forbes, ABC7 News, and Fintech Magazine and has been named one of the top 10 women to watch in Fintech.Vrinda helped launch the popular Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card at Visa Inc. But, when she applied for the card she helped create, she was rejected.This inspired Vrinda to act. She quit her job at Visa to found Sequin, to recognize women's financial power and fight against the injustices that opposed it, including credit card debt and the Pink Tax.Money is power - and this proud first-generation Indian immigrant is on a mission to design a world where women have more of both. You can sign up for Sequin today completely fee-free at sequincard.com/shebelievedshecould.Memorable Moments:“The pink tax is a well-documented phenomenon where women are paying more for everyday products and services 42% of the time, which adds up to thousands of dollars a year, and hundreds of thousands a lifetime.” “As women and minorities, we are not having conversations that are necessary to be successful in the financial world. We feel at fault and alone in our unknowingness, but most hardships have stemmed from a system that is steeped in the patriarchy.” When fundraising, it’s important to find mission-driven investors, recognize that you don’t need to know wealthy people to recruit support, and never, ever under-sell yourself.“It is so important to have accounts in your own name. Whether that’s a bank account or a credit card, it is important to set yourself up for success by knowing the steps.”Every woman is a walking billion dollar opportunity because we have been continually underserved.  Connect with Vrinda:WEBSITE: www.sequincard.com/SheBelievedSheCouldINSTAGRAM: @sequin_cardTIKTOK:https://www.tiktok.com/@sequin_card Connect with AllisonJoin us for the SBSC Summit: https://www.shebelievedshecould.co/event-details/sbscfallsummitInterested in working together?
