Impact

Productivity:

  • Providing African countries with much needed hard currency inflows.
  • Reducing the cost of sending money back home for the African diaspora (currently ~3x SDG10 target of 3%).
  • Increasing access to financial services and reducing the gender gap in financial inclusion (65% women).


Environment:

  • Facilitates the digital transformation of traditional financial institutions, which is conducive to transferring offline economic activities to online, thus reducing carbon emissions.

Employment:

  • In addition to creating over 220 direct jobs, Zeepay has also created a new income stream for mobile money agents and for small merchants, who can now accept digital payments.
