From the Kernel website: Kernel was born out of frustration with the inefficiencies, lack of innovation and low level of financial literacy holding back the New Zealand financial industry, and ultimately Kiwi’s financial futures. Throw in low interest rates along the way and savings accounts have stopped working as a way for Kiwis to grow their money.
