Chipper Cash, a leading fintech company serving more than five million customers across Africa, is delighted to confirm its official launch in Rwanda, further expanding its presence and commitment to provide trusted and accessible financial services across the continent and beyond.

Chipper Cash celebrated its entry into the Rwandan marketplace at the inaugural Inclusive Fintech Forum, the global platform on financial inclusion and fintech for good, which was held at the Kigali Convention Centre.

Chipper Cash offers a user-friendly and innovative mobile application that enables Africans to send and receive funds cross-border, pay globally with cards and invest.

Today, the platform allows Rwanda users to transact in multiple currencies and facilitates hassle-free international remittances. The next products to be introduced into the country will be the virtual Chipper Card, offering people an easy way to shop, stream and subscribe online, and Chipper for Business, supporting SMEs to operate efficiently in the global marketplace.

Speaking about the company’s expansion, Chipper Cash Country Director in Rwanda, Jovani Ntabgoba, said: “Rwanda is at the heart of Africa and is known as one of the most important financial hubs in the continent, making it an ideal market for Chipper’s latest expansion. We are delighted to launch Chipper Cash in Rwanda, an innovative and forward-thinking market that embraces technology.
