Building the financial layer for Africa.
Movo is on a mission to make moving money across Africa as easy as sending a text message. One app for transfers, bills, airtime, and travel.
Africa is home to the world's fastest-growing mobile money markets, yet cross-border payments remain slow, expensive, and fragmented. Sending money from Lagos to Accra should not cost more than sending money from London to Paris. It should not take three days. It should not require a trip to a bank branch.
We built Movo to fix that. One account. One wallet. One app. Everything you need to move money, pay for daily life, and travel — without the friction or the fees.
What we believe
Simple beats clever
Finance is complicated enough. Our job is to make it feel effortless — every screen, every flow, every word.
Fees should be transparent
You should always know exactly what you're paying for. No hidden charges. No "small" FX markup. No surprises.
Speed is a feature
Money that takes three days to arrive is money that fails the people who need it most. Everything we build is real-time.
Built for Africa, from Africa
We're not adapting a Western product for African users. We're building for how Africa actually moves, sends, and spends.
Where we are today
Movo supports transfers, bill payments, airtime and data, and flight bookings across Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa. We're adding new markets and new services every quarter. If you want to know when Movo lands in your country, write to us at hello@movo.com.ng.
Who we are
Movo is a small team of engineers, designers, and financial-operations specialists based in Lagos. We're backed by operators who have built payment infrastructure at some of the largest banks and fintechs across the continent. We're hiring — reach out if you want to help build this.
