Abstract

The paper proposes a Financial Technology (FinTech) as a platform to encourage people who are physically active to participate in raising funds for social work activities and at the same time generate income for the participants. The research is empirical evidence based on a mixed methodology approach to assessing people’s perspectives from the general public, a charity organization, and business organizations. While, FinTech as a platform will be able to promote a healthy lifestyle allowing people to collect their distance in kilometers by either walking, running or cycling then converting them into a reward point. The platform provides more meaning to every distance that can impact physically, socially, and financially to promote a healthy society.
