  • Oh, in Peru there is a kid who is only 14 years old.

  • But this kid started a really bank with credit cards, employees and lots of money.

  • Who is this kid?

  • And how did he start a fricking bank?

  • When I was in Peru, I met thousands off happy and energetic locals.

  • At some 0.1 of them told me there is ah, young kid in a far away city who may be the youngest banker in the world.

  • So I had to see this kid in person way.

  • Eso I flew down to Hiss City and before I knew it, I found the kids.

  • Hi, my name is Jose on.

  • This is my story.

  • Jose is a kid off very few words.

  • Hey, noticed that most of his friends no, nothing about money.

  • Every time they get a dollar, they spend it on things that didn't matter.

  • That was a problem because these kids will grow up with no savings or safety in it or understanding off personal finance.

  • It's important to save money.

  • At the age of 12, he wanted to fix this problem.

  • So of course, like any kid would do, he started a bank.

  • He incorporated a financial institution.

  • He printed debit cars and give them to his classmates.

  • Now all their allowance would go to their savings account.

  • And the more they save, the more money they make.

  • It is the first bank in our started by a que and it worked.

  • Now he has over 3000 kids, customers that believed in him and eight employees that are older than him.

  • Together, they manage more than $50 in savings for kids and educate thousands off them on how to handle money approved on.

  • Here's the crazy part.

  • His bank is very different from Citibank because at Jose's bank you don't even need money to start an account.

  • He started a program to help kids make money from trash.

  • Any kid can bring in plastic waste, and he will recycle it for them and give them money in their bank account.

  • This way, you make money as a kid, and the streets of Peru have less plastic waste.

  • It's a win win, and in 2000 and 18, Jose won an international climate award for his work.

  • Despite his age Jose Iss solving two big problems.

  • He is making the Planet green and the wallets off his classmates, even Mawr Green.

  • And that is impressive.

  • That's more than a minute.

  • See you.

  • See you.

Oh, in Peru there is a kid who is only 14 years old.
