digital enterprise: the suma platform

Suma believes community-led technology is required to advance financial independence and quality of life for low-income families.

In that spirit, we present the suma platform: an app to overcome the cost, privacy and payment barriers that prevent our communities from using their technology to access critical goods and services.
