Problems & Solutions
Africa is home to the world’s youngest and fastest-growing population, the continent is urbanizing more rapidly than any other part of the planet. Africa’s 1.1 billion citizens will likely double in number by 2050, and driving financial inclusion is key to the economic growth of Africa.
Problem
Unbanked Africa
An estimated 230,000,000 Adults in Sub Saharan Africa do not have a bank account and documentation and proper means of identification have been recognized as the top two reasons responsible for this. On the contrary, the percentage of adults with Bank accounts avoid transacting online for the fear of falling victim to card fraud when they shop online.
Solution

We are offering a prepaid card that leverages on your mobile number as the unique identifier, can be funded from any bank, not connected to your bank account does not require any means of identity except your mobile number and accepted globally.
Problem
Unbanked Africa
Online businesses struggle in Africa because of the high number of unbanked Adults. “A case study of Nigeria reveals that an estimated 72 million adults do not have bank accounts because they do not have the required document to secure a bank verification number called BVN”
