BIO

CEO at Esusu Financial. Wemimo Abbey, a financial technology entrepreneur, knows firsthand how hard it is for immigrants to start new lives in new countries with no resources. Along with his partner, Samir Goel, they run Esusu Financial, a digital savings program, as well as Esusu Rent, an app used by renters in affordable housing units that boosts credit scores when rents are paid on time. Last year, in an effort to provide pandemic relief, the firm distributed $250,000 in interest-free loans to New Yorkers who couldn’t make their rent.
