Our Why
Enhancing the Financial Resilience of Africa's Low & Middle Income Earners
Licensed by the Central Bank of Uganda as a Payment System Operator, FLT works to enhance the financial resilience of Africa’s low and middle income earners, through a community-driven digital marketplace for affordable financial services. Unlike many Fintechs which offer expensive credit to consumers, FLT leverages the relevance and outreach of Credit Unions and MFIs in Africa, to enable low and middle income earners grow personal savings, access affordable credit and make payments using secure and reliable digital channels. We believe that an equitable and sustainable economy is only possible if it is inclusive.
Our envisioned Future
To be the Technology Champion of the social-economic prosperity of the people in the developing world.
What we do
Building Africa’s Community-driven marketplace for affordable financial services
We enable end consumers access appropriate and affordable financial products provided by our large network of ecosystem partners in Africa including Credit Unions and MFIs. Through our consumer-facing MSACCO multi-channel payment gateway, we enable consumers grow personal savings, access affordable credit and insurance, and make payments.
Additionally, through our business-facing Savings Plus Banking As a Service platform, we enable Credit Unions and MFIs acquire and retain more customers, mobilise community savings and grow transaction revenues at a fraction of 10% the ordinary cost.
