Commerce in Africa is deeply facilitated by cash, but cash-based transactions are expensive, unsafe, and difficult to track. We identified an opportunity to take advantage of the growth and adoption of the internet and all things digital in Africa by creating a simple, yet safe alternative currency to be utilized for specific purposes; Vouchers. At the core of what we do, we sell and maintain an i
nventory of vouchers, which can be exchanged between two or more parties, and spent at a closed but extensive network of merchants across Africa for a near-unlimited assortment of goods and services. We believe that in any circumstance where value is to be exchanged for specific purposes, the function of cash can be replaced with vouchers, and by doing so, we can make the transaction cheaper, more secure, and instant. So far, we have found use cases for gifting, remittances, consumer asset-financing and fundraising.
