Zoona brings together the drive of young entrepreneurs and cutting-edge technology to bring safe and reliable money transfers to undeserved communities all over Africa. Their users rely on our services to pay for family members’ hospital visits, children’s school fees and other needs – while our ever growing network of agents provides jobs and earning potential for young entrepreneurs where other opportunities are limited. In doing this our work empowers communities to grow and develop – making a real difference to people’s lives.

“Zoona has crossed a big milestone in the history of our business and for mobile money and financial inclusion in Africa. This latest milestone – $1 billion processed is a highlight on our continued journey of bringing financial inclusion to Africa.” said Mike Quinn, the C.E.O of Zoona.

“This is an awesome achievement and shows that our model of building financial inclusion and helping communities thrive is being recognized both locally and internationally.”
