We’re on a mission to lift 100 million people out of poverty

In Sub-Saharan Africa, over half the population doesn’t have a bank account. Hundreds of millions of people are left using costly and risky alternatives. Our mission is to lift 100 million people out of poverty through financial inclusion. We give the unbanked access to financial tools to help them safely and easily save, borrow and exchange money.

We see it every day: financial inclusion improves lives.
