Fintech & Payments
Brought digital payments to people with no bank account, nationwide
Simple phone menu payments for the unbanked, at national scale.
Situation
Reaching people with no bank account meant delivering secure digital payments to basic phones, over a simple phone menu, at national scale, across merchant payments, card scheme programmes, and government payouts.
Action
I helped build nationwide payment platforms designed for inclusion, using the simple phone menu that any handset can run, alongside wallets, to support merchant sign up, card programmes, and government payment schemes that widen access for underserved people.
Impact
Digital payments reached underserved and unbanked people across the country, connecting basic phone users, merchants, and government payouts on secure, large scale infrastructure.
Insight
Inclusion is won on the humblest channel. A simple phone menu reaches people a polished app never will, and that reach is the whole point.
Where it ran
USSD + digital wallets, large-scale payments
