Capital Plus: Pan-African Digital Wallet
Mobile banking solution featuring cross-border payments and money transfers
Introduction
Africa is still home to roughly half of the unbanked population,
making basic financial operations such as transfers, currency
exchange, and bill payments cumbersome or even impossible
tasks.
Fortunately, the region's rapidly growing number of mobile
users, decreasing internet costs, and expanding network
coverage, combined with a young, fast-growing, and
increasingly urban population has led to digital banking
emerging as a powerful solution to the problem. By providing a
cost-effective and convenient solution for managing finances,
digital banking can bridge the gap and help those who have
previously been excluded from the financial ecosystem.
Story
The mission of Capital Plus is to provide innovative solutions to current financial and economic development challenges delivering

solution for local and international mobile payments, bill payment, cross-border remittance, foreign exchange and card issuance
for citizens in Africa as well as individuals worldwide, enhancing the region’s inclusion into the world’s financial life.
