The problem
Africa doesn't need more complexity.
Moving money between markets should feel as simple as sending money to someone next door. Wakala brings the pieces together around local currencies, familiar payment methods and a single wallet experience.
01
Too many payment rails
Different markets use different banks, wallets, mobile money systems and card networks.
02
Currency friction
People often need to navigate multiple conversions before money reaches its destination.
03
Disconnected experiences
Wallets, payments and connectivity often live in separate products.
How it works
One experience. Multiple markets.
Wakala puts the payment experience around the user, connecting local payment methods and currencies through a single account.
02 / MOVE
Choose how to move it
Send, receive, convert and manage supported balances from one wallet.
03 / REACH
