Tandem Finance – Tackling the Silent Burden of Financial Caregiving

The Tandem-Finance project lays the foundation for an innovative digital platform in the field of financial caregiving, enabling older adults to retain greater autonomy as they age while reducing the burden on caregivers. The goal is to develop a secure, user-friendly tool that can be integrated into e-banking solutions and is simple and safe to use.

As life expectancy increases, financial caregiving is becoming an increasingly important topic. Caregivers are taking on complex financial tasks, which increases their workload and can reduce the autonomy of older adults. The Tandem-Finance project addresses this challenge with an innovative solution that supports independence, relieves caregivers, and—through integration into e-banking—offers the highest levels of security and acceptance.

In a first step, we will conduct a needs assessment with older adults and their caregivers. This will provide the basis for a user-centered implementation tailored to the target groups.

The project is based on an initiative by Margerite GmbH and is carried out in close collaboration with Margerite GmbH and the City of Rapperswil-Jona, funded by the Innovation Booster Silver Aging program (Innosuisse).

With this project, we are making an important contribution to the financial inclusion of older adults.
