Djamo

What they do:

Djamo were one of the first neobanks of Francophone Africa starting with the WAEMU region. Banks have been serving the top 10-20% of wealthiest customers, abandoning a huge segment of the market they couldn’t serve profitably with their legacy infrastructure. Djamo’s mission is to enable access to banking to this large underserved segment using the efficiency provided by digital channels.

Why we invested:

In French-speaking Africa where less than 25% of the population is banked, Djamo are building seamless and affordable banking solutions to break into a huge untaped market and bring millions of people into financial inclusion.
