Salary benchmarks
Our take
As global enterprise has become more interwoven, and Africa grows as an economic powerhouse, financial infrastructure has failed to keep pace with growing demand. Nala is providing the financial services to meet that gap.
The company started in Tanzania as a consumer payments aggregator and has used that platform to launch a remittance business rooted in its connections with East Africa, driving down the eye-watering 10% fees for its diaspora userbase.
The FinTech startup is now looking to double down on the lucrative remittance business, onboarding more users in its newly licensed areas: the U.S. and France.
While NALA has had some success with the products its built so far, the true test for the company will be navigating the deeply complicated international infrastructure necessary for an international payments platform, all while retaining their consumer-friendly credentials.
