FRESNO, CA—As people continue to struggle with access to affordable credit and income tax returns, given the recent changes in the tax laws with the enactment of The PATH ACT and the Global Coronavirus Pandemic, African-American entrepreneur, Marshawn Govan, developer of Innovative Finance Tax Advance Mobile Payments "Fin-TAMP," created a loan app tailored to the Black and Latino community to revolutionize the tax industry in response to the novel coronavirus pandemic--banks were not lending to people of color who were struggling with access to capital even before the pandemic.


Govan believes he has the best modest investment solution (under $150.00 investment) for budding African-American entrepreneurs and the perfect virtual product solutions for a niche market.


"We are excited to now be raising capital on Wefunder to allow mainstream consumers to invest our company to build the next financial institution which will very soon redefine the tax industry for the better, " said Govan. "A future Equity Agreement (SAFE) gives people the right to future shares in our company."


Govan has raised over $1,800.00 on Wefunder in a short period of time toward his problem-solving virtual tax solution business.


"Our Go-To-Market (GTM) combines mobile payments, tax preparation and tax refund together to make tax refunds more convenient for low and middle income class Americans. As a leading tax preparation technology company, we are always looking forward to growing our share in tax refund bank products."

Case Studies: Tax-Time Financial Products that African-American Households are 36 percent more likely to use the products than white households.More than 20 million American taxpayers spent at least an estimated half a billion dollars in 2017 on financial products that are based on their anticipated tax refund, according to the National Consumer Law Center. Tax-time financial products, typically offered by banks and made available by providers of tax preparation services, include refund advances and refund anticipation loans (credit products) and refund transfers (deposit product). In fiscal year 2017, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) processed more than 150 million individual federal income tax returns, and issued almost 120 million refunds totaling almost $383 billion, according to IRS.


Trends in the market for tax-time financial products since 2012 include:

• the decline of refund anticipation loans (short-term loans subject to finance charges and fees),

• the rise in use of refund transfers (temporary bank accounts in which to receive funds), and

• the introduction of refund advances (loans with no fees or finance charges).
