    Fintech for Humans: How to put your customers at ease with mobile payments

    Remember when banking meant leaving the house and queuing at a physical branch to see your banker? Now, you can use your mobile device to make payments and check balances, and at the same time order groceries, pay your electricity bill and chat online with friends and family – all without getting off the couch. The digital revolution in the financial services industry has changed the way we bank, shop and interact with each other, and the prolonged lockdowns as well as increa

    Building Africa’s next fintech unicorn

    Ukheshe started with a humble proposition: bring electronic payments to the unbanked. As Ukheshe grew, it saw the broader issue: it’s not just that many people are unbanked; many financial institutions don’t have the digital means to engage with more modern audiences. When it comes to using QR codes, USSD payments, mobile apps, web interfaces and such, most banks find it too complicated. They have to coordinate the services of multiple providers and vendors, all while navigat

    Payment digitisation took a big leap forward in 2020 – and so did Ukheshe

    2 min read. 2020 has certainly been a year unlike any other. Not only did the pandemic push the fast forward button on existing trends, and draw attention to low/no-touch solutions, it also resulted in a renewed focus on the cashless payment revolution and its many benefits.
