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. What started in 2015 as a cross‑border payments service has grown into a multi‑product financial platform. We give people the tools to send, save, and manage money – on their own terms, at a socially fair price.

Mama HQ is in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa. We're 150 people strong (and counting), representing 19 countries across Africa, Asia, the UK, and Europe. From remittances to a growing range of financial products, everything we build is in service of people who deserve better. Our culture reflects that same commitment.
