They’re on a mission to build a bank Africa loves to use. They are always keen to hear from capable, creative engineers who want to help us accomplish that goal.

Customers currently use their app to make payments (in Tanzania and Uganda) 7x faster all without using the internet and across multiple accounts. They’re a small team based in Tanzania, Uganda and Egypt and growing our business and engineering functions. Graduated from Y Combinator a year ago and raised a new round of funding.

They are building the future of banking in East Africa. They aim to bring access to banking services to the fastest-growing region of Africa and it’s mostly underserved 500+ million population.

Traditional banks have failed to reach high adoption in the region due to poor offering and prohibitive fees, leaving the door open to mobile network operators who run mobile money services (such as Mpesa). In East Africa alone, they processed over $293B in 2019. The mobile money system has not evolved in years, it’s hard to use (through USSD codes) and operators charge very high fees for customers to transfer money or take cash out.

They first product has been downloaded over 150,000 times between Tanzania and Uganda and makes managing mobile money 7x faster. They automate all the painful manual typing of USSD codes and help customers track their finances across multiple sim card wallets (the average user has 2 sim cards).

They are growing the team to now build the next stage of their vision to be able to offer simple, reliable and affordable banking services to customers.
