07 — TRUST

Security that isn't marketing.

Biometric login. Device binding. Real-time fraud scoring on every transaction. HSM-backed custody. Immutable audit log. Every money movement, signed.

Built on trust

Your money, protected at every layer.

Kashup is engineered like a bank and shipped like a product. Six pillars protect every deposit, every trade, every withdrawal — from the moment you tap "sign up" to the moment you cash out.

01

Regulator-aligned

Licensed brokerage and exchange partners in every market. We build with regulators, not around them.

02

Biometric by default

Face ID, Touch ID, and fingerprint login. Your biometrics never leave your device. Device binding stops account takeover.

03

Real money rails

Deposit and withdraw through Telebirr, M-Pesa, MTN, Airtel, Chipper, and Flutterwave. Reconciled in real time.

04

Clear custody

We tell you who holds your keys. Qualified custodians, HSM-backed signing, and 24-hour cool-downs on new addresses.

05

Real-time fraud defense

Every money-moving event is risk-scored in under 200 ms. Anomalies flagged, velocity limited, you're notified.

06

Signed, audited, replayable

Every transaction is written to an immutable audit log — reconstructable to the millisecond, forever.

Why Kashup wins

The only player in the intersection.

Foreign apps have depth but no localization. Neobanks have accounts but no investing. Crypto exchanges have speculation but no wealth. Mobile wallets have payments but no growth. Kashup does all of them, for Africa.

"Mobile money proved financial inclusion at scale is possible in Africa.
Kashup extends that thesis from payments
into wealth."
Negasi Gebrekiros · Founder, Kashup
Our mission

Democratize wealth across Africa.

Mobile money proved financial inclusion at scale is possible in Africa. Kashup extends that thesis from payments into wealth — so every smartphone owner can save, invest, and grow, regardless of income or banking status.

01

Access for everyone

Every smartphone owner in Africa deserves the same wealth tools the West has had for decades. Not a watered-down version. The real thing — with local rails and local trust.

02

Education inside the product

Financial literacy belongs next to the button that moves your money. We teach in context, in the languages our users actually speak, in the formats they actually watch.

03

Local rails, local trust

Kashup funds through mobile money, speaks in local languages, and partners with licensed local institutions. We don't port a Western app; we build for how Africa actually moves money.

04

Start from $1. Grow from anywhere.

Wealth shouldn't require a minimum balance or a postal address in a capital city. Kashup opens on any smartphone, funds from any mobile wallet, and starts with whatever our users have.

Note from the founder

"I grew up watching brilliant people run small businesses without ever being able to put a single dollar to work for them. Kashup exists so the next generation doesn't inherit that ceiling."

Careers
HIRING

Build the future of African finance.

We're a small, senior team building the wealth platform Africa deserves. Remote-first, mission-heavy, equity-meaningful. If that sounds like your kind of work, we want to hear from you.

Build for 700M users

Most fintechs fight over the same saturated markets. You'd be building financial infrastructure for a continent that is still being built.

Remote-first, Africa-first

Distributed team across Africa and the diaspora. No mandatory office, no 9-to-5, no performative presence. Ship what matters.

Meaningful equity

Early team members take real ownership with clear vesting and transparent cap table. If we win, you win.

Partners

Built with the best of African finance.

Kashup doesn't replace the financial infrastructure our users already trust. We partner with licensed banks, mobile money providers, brokerages, and exchanges to bring investing and wealth tools on top of rails that already work.

Banks

Licensed banking partners for core accounts, settlement, float, and regulatory cover in every market we enter.

Mobile money

Deposits and withdrawals on the rails our users already hold in their pockets.

Brokerages & exchanges

Licensed execution partners for equities and crypto, plus qualified custodians for digital asset custody.

Infrastructure

Best-in-class vendors for identity, fraud, messaging, and cloud — so we ship fast without cutting corners.
