A mobile money platform for Burundi

Burundi's market is small but growing, and most people live in rural areas with basic phones. USSD and a dense agent network matter more here than smartphone features.

Who can win here

MFIs and savings cooperatives already reach many households, and they have trust that a new brand would take years to earn. A white label wallet lets them offer transfers, savings and small loans on the phone, under their own name, without building technology of their own.

Rules and connections

The Banque de la République du Burundi regulates payment services and e-money issuers. You will need a payment institution or e-money licence, or a partner bank. Capital is set by regulation, so confirm the current amount with the BRB, along with its current interoperability rules, before you plan your connections.

  • USSD on any phone, for customers
  • A link to MFI savings and loan products
  • Agent float tools
  • Apps in French and English, with room for Kirundi
