Job Description

There are 2 billion adults worldwide who don’t have a bank account. That’s close to 40% of the world’s adult population. 350 million of them live in Sub-Saharan Africa.

We build consumer products powered by a magical cocktail of real-time mission-critical machine-learning models, behavioural psychology, and financial engineering. We promote meritocracy, act quickly, commit, and worship data.
