Our mission is to help the underbanked and low-income people spend more online. Therefore, the Brisebox website was created to serve both of those groups respectively. The site (1) helps the underbanked share the price of a desired online purchase before Brisebox issues the shopper a prepaid spending card, and (2) allows low-income shoppers split their payments using more than one credit card when paying online. Similarly to our mission, Suitemecard and AfterPay, currently join us in helping these groups spend on and own more of what they desire.

Through this, you will learn about the different techniques of spreading awareness through writing and PR, on websites and social media.
