NALA is about building payments for the Next Billion. We’ve made strides towards this by supporting fast, reliable, and affordable international payments to 9 African countries, with more to come in 2024.‍But progress means nothing unless we’re solving real-world problems for you, our customers. So we’re committed to building something together alongside the communities we serve. We’ve hosted events across the globe and supported those run by community members from the diaspora in the US, EU, and UK.Payments in Africa are still only 1% built, but we are rising to meet this challenge.NALA is funded by the world’s most prestigious accelerators and VCs, including Y-Combinator, Bessemer, and Accel. We also have the support of angel investors personally involved with founding and building Monzo, Robinhood, Revolut, Wise, and many more.

We are not just investors; we are partners in the entrepreneurial journey. With a dynamic network of experienced angels, industry experts, and a shared commitment to fostering innovation, we thrive on identifying and supporting the next generation of disruptors in social impact projects
