About the Product
Redi solves this with a simple, safe mechanism: yield-earning savings plus predictable installments, capped by savings. Users build a Buffer and see their balance grow over time. When they need liquidity for a purchase, they use Bridge, Redi's pay-in-installments feature. Bridge is strictly limited by the Buffer, so users can never commit to installments beyond what they already have saved. While a Bridge plan is active, the Buffer is held as protected collateral. If an installment is missed, payment is automatically settled from the protected balance. This design delivers predictability on both sides: users pay in installments they know they can afford, while businesses increase sales and receive guaranteed settlement without taking credit risk.
Problem & Solutions
Problem
Across LATAM, the shared challenge is financial predictability. People want to make it through the month, save, plan purchases, and maintain their lifestyle, but cash flow and timing rarely match real life. In practice, this shows up in different ways: some delay saving because it feels like choosing between progress and living, while others manage to save only by cutting non-essential choices such as clothing, outings, or planned upgrades. When an unexpected expense or a timing mismatch happens, even disciplined plans often break, forcing people to dip into savings, postpone purchases, or take on uncertainty. The gap is structural. Saving and spending are disconnected, so progress is easy to undo. Installments exist, but they are not designed to protect a predictable budget or ensure payments remain affordable within the month. Most tools track money, but they do not provide clear limits and automatic controls that help people stay predictable. For businesses, the result is straightforward: sales drop because customers either cannot afford the purchase at checkout or do not know how to take it on without disrupting the rest of their month.

Customer Segments
-
Partner Businesses (B2B, primary paying customer) Neighborhood stores, convenience stores, supermarkets, pharmacies, and local retailers. Main pain: lost sales when customers lack liquidity, plus the need to get paid securely. Perceived value: higher sales, stronger repeat purchases and loyalty through Perks.
-
End Users (B2C, mass adoption) People with irregular income or month-to-month volatility who need more stability. Main pain: covering essential purchases without risky credit, and building a saving habit that does not lose value. Perceived value: predictability, control, automatic discipline without friction.
-
Organizations (Institutional B2B, scale accelerator) NGOs, social programs, cooperatives, mutual-aid organizations, or companies running support programs. They can create and fund Buffers for beneficiaries, improve educational and workforce continuity, and measure impact.
-
Liquidity Providers (Investors, yield-seeking) Individual or institutional investors looking for on-chain yield backed by real collateral. Main pain: limited access to DeFi strategies with predictable, asset-backed returns. Perceived value: capital deployed into the Redi Liquidity Pool funds Bridge credit for users. While installments are being repaid, capital earns yield from a share of the interest paid by users, combining on-chain return with real-world collateral backing.
