Case Study: Uils achieves financial inclusion for mobility drivers with Paisanos

Uils launches financial inclusion app with Paisanos and raises $1.5MM

Uils is a fintech company that provides financial inclusion for mobility app drivers in Latin America. Their challenge was addressing the significant income disparity faced by drivers who do not own their vehicles, as these drivers can perceive up to 40% less monthly income due to the financial burden of renting or leasing a car. Paisanos was engaged to help Uils build an MVP to enable embedded finances for this gig economy.

Paisanos conducted user research to define the MVP's scope and developed a custom design system with reusable components to ensure a scalable and consistent product. The solution helped Uils create the first financial inclusion mobile app for drivers using platforms like Uber and Didi. As a result of this work, Uils successfully raised $1.5 million in funding in 2024, which allowed them to expand their business.
