About Us

Reimagining Financial Access for Africa's Informal Economy

Making digital financial services accessible to market traders, artisans, and small business owners who drive over 60% of West Africa's GDP.

Our Mission

To make financial services accessible to everyone — especially those excluded from traditional banking — by using familiar chat platforms to provide savings, insurance, pensions, and remittance solutions.

Our Story

Naa Sika brings a full suite of financial services—savings, insurance, pensions, and payments—into everyday chat apps. We digitize trusted community practices like "susu" while connecting users to regulated financial products, removing barriers of complex apps and literacy challenges.

By integrating into WhatsApp, Telegram, and USSD, we meet users where they already are. Our platform serves informal savings groups, market traders, cooperatives, and small businesses across West Africa—the backbone of Africa's economy.

Our Impact

Expected Impact

Naa Sika connects informal finance to formal protection. By allowing users to save, invest, and plan for the future within a platform they already use daily, we help foster financial stability, particularly among women and young people.
