What people say

★★★★★

"I run a shop in Kariobangi. I take payments, order stock and pay my supplier without leaving the app. That used to be three apps and a bank queue."

Amina Wanjiku
Retailer, Nairobi 🇰🇪
★★★★★

"I moved from okada riding to running two bikes on Zuma. The credit score from my trips got me the loan for the second one."

Chidi Okonkwo
Rider-owner, Lagos 🇳🇬
★★★★★

"We list our lodge on Zuma Safaris and get bookings direct. No agent taking thirty percent before we see the money."

Joseph Sankale
Lodge owner, Maasai Mara 🇰🇪
★★★★★

"My mother in Mbale gets her blood pressure tablets delivered every month. I pay from Kampala. She never has to travel."

Sarah Nakato
Teacher, Kampala 🇺🇬

Farmer, Nyandarua 🇰🇪

Restaurateur, Accra 🇬🇭
★★★★★

Accountant, Addis Ababa 🇪🇹
