BABB's goal is to revolutionize the banking system in today's financial economy by providing robust technology and meeting the demand for many people involved in the banking system.

The Flaws BABB Observes In The Financial System

According to BABB's whitepaper, "There are seven billion people in the world, and more than two billion of them are 'unbanked'. The people that are unbanked don't have access to financial services. This dilemma according to BABB is extremely risky for individuals without a banking system for various reasons. These "unbanked" individuals have the risk of losing their cash, acquiring a loan securely, and having the simplicity of sending to someone else. According to BABB's statistics, "anyone who doesn't have access to a bank account or financial services is being held back...."An initiative in Mexico to 'bank the unbanked' found that opening bank accounts for low-income customers led to a 7.6% increase in the number of business owners, a 1.4% increase in employment and a 7% increase in average income". (resource.getbabb 2018). The continuation of poverty, inferior living standards, bad health, and inadequate education is due to financial exclusion.

The individuals who have a bank are also going through some troubles which haven't been solved. According to Accenture, Banking the unbanked in a 380 billion dollar market opportunity which has not been tapped into yet. The reason is due to the expense they would have to maintain acquiring the "unbanked". Since the "unbanked" is a significantly smaller portion compared to the "banked", this model would not be profitable for traditional banks.
