M-KOPA
M-KOPA Mobility is a business subsidiary under the umbrella of M-KOPA Holdings. We envision an electrified Mobility sector across Africa. Our mission is to accelerate the African eMobility sector by providing affordable, connected, and customer-centric financing solutions to ‘Every Day Earners’.

As that relationship grows we use AI / machine learning models to build individualised credit histories for customers throughout the repayment of their first loan. Based on this information, we then finance additional digital and financial products like smartphones, digital loans, health insurance, and data bundles through our mobile application.
