Introduction to the Wakandi solution
Wakandi is a payment network that works for financial services companies, government regulators, and others taking on the challenges of interoperability and financial inclusion.
What is the Wakandi solution?
Wakandi offers a DLT-based infrastructure that enables faster, cheaper, and more transparent ways to transfer value and share data. It connects banks, Mobile Money Operators (MNOs) and financial institutions to provide a foundation to develop innovative products and services.
What makes us unique?
What drives Wakandi is the power of technology and innovation and our constant urge to create a positive impact on 370 million (2019) unbanked Africans by attracting them to choose the formal economy.
Why Africa?
African countries have experienced constant economic growth in recent years, creating an entirely new development path for better business potential. Another aspect of the African economy being highly cash-driven, with 95% of retail transactions in cash (2019), offers a perfect market for Wakandi to flourish.
The story of Wakandi
Wakandi was founded in 2018 with an aim to improve the way money and money transfers are handled in Africa. We were inspired by how technology and innovation can create a positive impact on millions of people.

Payment Service Providers
The peer-to-peer payment network not only supports payment but also creates the possibility to develop new value-added services for all payment companies.
Use Case: Data Accessibility
In Africa, the majority of money transfers are performed on mobile. As a result, banks don’t have data related to these transfers. The Wakandi solution offers a way to share this data, paving way for many new possibilities.
CAMS
A financial inclusion system based on Wakandi
Credit Association Management System (CAMS) is a unique financial system built on top of Wakandi’s DLT-based infrastructure. The system is designed to offer formal financial services and tons of benefits to thousands of informal financial groups (IFGs).
