MoneyNest digitises chamas, ROSCAs and SACCOs — automating contributions, cycle rules, and payouts on M-Pesa, Airtel and MTN.
18 million people across East Africa move $4.3 billion annually through savings groups managed on WhatsApp and paper books. One dropout collapses the cycle. No dedicated infrastructure exists. MoneyNest is the first.
Four plan tiers. Five cycle types: weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly, bi-annual.
We earn like telecoms — small fees, massive volume. M-Pesa earns $1B yearly at 0.62% on $295B in annual transactions. MoneyNest charges account opening fees, payout fees, and transaction fees on transfers, bills and utilities.
Year 1: 600 groups, 7,200+ users, $45K ARR. Year 3: $705K. Breakeven Q3 Year 2.
Founder: 9 years fintech executive experience across Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda. Direct operational partnerships at M-Pesa, Airtel, MTN, Stanbic Bank and KCB.
