PesaPay
Next-Generation Super App for Payments, Savings & Financial Services
Project Overview
PesaPay is a revolutionary fintech super app bringing comprehensive financial services to the African market. More than just a digital wallet, PesaPay combines instant peer-to-peer transfers, bill payments, merchant transactions, savings accounts, micro-loans, investment opportunities, and insurance products into one beautifully designed mobile experience. Built on secure, scalable infrastructure with bank-grade encryption, PesaPay makes financial services accessible to everyone - from urban professionals to rural communities - empowering financial inclusion across the continent.
The Challenge
Millions of Africans remained underbanked or completely excluded from formal financial services. Traditional banking required documentation many didn't have, branches were far from rural areas, and services were expensive. Existing mobile money platforms were limited to basic transfers and bill payments. People needed access to savings, credit, investments, and insurance but had no easy way to access these services. Financial literacy was low, and trust in digital financial platforms was a barrier.
Our Solution
PesaPay democratizes financial services through mobile technology. Open an account in 60 seconds with just a phone number - no paperwork, no branch visit. Send money instantly to any phone number across 20+ African countries. Pay bills with one tap using saved billers. Earn 8% annual interest in automated savings pockets. Get instant micro-loans up to $500 based on AI credit scoring. Invest in fractional stocks, bonds, and mutual funds starting from $1. Buy insurance (health, device, micro-business) with daily or monthly premiums. Financial education modules with gamified learning. Everything secured with biometric authentication, end-to-end encryption, and real-time fraud monitoring.

Audit trail and transparency
"PesaPay changed my life. I got my first loan of $100 to buy stock for my shop. I paid it back and my limit increased to $500. Now I also save automatically - I have $300 saved! The app taught me about money management. I recommend everyone to use it."
