5 MILLION+ USERS. ONE MILLION+ VISA CARDS. 250,000+ DAILY TRANSACTIONS. TWO AFRICAN FOUNDERS. ONE FINTECH CONNECTING MILLIONS TO THE DIGITAL ECONOMY. The bigger story is how Ham Serunjogi and Maijid Moujaled, co-founders of Chipper Cash, transformed a startup launched in 2018 into a major African financial technology platform. What began with a vision to simplify cross-border payments has grown into a business connecting millions of people to digital financial services.

The numbers highlight its remarkable scale: 5 million+ users across its platform. Over one million virtual Visa cards issued. More than 250,000 transactions processed daily. International backing from investors including Ribbit Capital and Bezos Expeditions. Through its payment infrastructure and financial services, Chipper Cash is helping make money movement more accessible across African markets. For Ham Serunjogi and Maijid Moujaled, the achievement goes beyond building a successful fintech.

They have demonstrated how an African-founded company can attract global capital, develop financial infrastructure and serve millions of customers. Africa's fintech success story is no longer just about financial inclusion. It is about African founders building financial infrastructure at scale. And Chipper Cash is helping define that transformation.
