Who we are:

Mama Money is a growth-stage fintech on a mission to improve the financial lives of migrants and underserved communities across Africa and beyond.

Mama HQ is in beautiful Cape Town. We're 157 people strong (and counting), representing 19 countries across Africa, Asia, the UK, and Europe.
