Company Details

Industry: Banking
Description: The name Kopo Kopo was derived from kobboh kobboh, the Krio word for money. We owe our name to a pilot project done in Sierra Leone by our founders. From their learnings in Sierra Leone and Kenya in early 2011, they were inspired to create a world-class platform to enable small and medium businesses to accept mobile payments and build relationships with their customers. Kopo Kopo was launched in 2012 where we partnered with Safaricom to bring Lipa na M-Pesa Buy Goods service to small and medium businesses throughout Kenya and, today, we serve thousands of businesses from salons to restaurants to office supply stores, to schools. We have since partnered with other aggregator and mobile money partners with the ultimate goal of helping businesses leverage mobile payments. We are grateful for our unusual journey and look forward to helping our merchants in growing and prosper in the years ahead. At Kopo Kopo, we offer market-appropriate solutions to enable and incentivize businesses to go digital. We partner with financial institutions, mobile operators and major retailers who are interested in marketing new payment services to small and medium enterprises. Kopo Kopo is dedicated to re-focusing the
market on SMEs.

Job Description
