Jose Quisocala Condori is a globally recognised social entrepreneur and the visionary founder of the Banco del Estudiante Bartselana, a revolutionary cooperative eco-bank designed exclusively for children and youth. Earning international acclaim as the world’s youngest bank founder—having established the institution at just seven years old—Quisocala has successfully merged financial literacy with environmental sustainability, creating a disruptive framework for the circular economy that is currently transforming communities across Latin America.
At the core of Quisocala’s strategic foresight is a proprietary model that turns solid recyclable waste into liquid currency. Through the Banco del Estudiante Bartselana, young clients deposit recyclable materials, which are then sold to recycling plants. The proceeds are deposited directly into the children’s savings accounts, which can only be accessed by the youths themselves, fostering early financial independence and deep-rooted environmental responsibility.
Under his leadership, the bank has grown to serve thousands of young clients, demonstrating the viability of integrating social impact with scalable economic models. His work challenges traditional banking paradigms and provides corporate leaders with a tangible blueprint for grassroots-level circular economy initiatives and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) integration.
Quisocala’s unparalleled initiative has drawn the attention of global policymakers, environmental organisations, and corporate institutions. He was awarded the prestigious Children’s Climate Prize in Stockholm, Sweden, and his transformative journey was prominently featured in the internationally acclaimed documentary The Future is Ours (Demain est à nous). Through global summits and high-level panels, he continues to advise institutions on embedding sustainability into their core operational frameworks and engaging Gen Z and Gen Alpha demographics in meaningful corporate dialogue.
