Egyptian fintech startup MoneyHash has raised $5.2 million in a pre-Series A funding round. The company said the funds will help improve its platform, expand its reach, and add new features. MoneyHash wants to assist businesses across Africa by simplifying financial processes.
The funding round was led by Flourish Ventures, a global venture capital firm. Saudi Arabia’s Vision Ventures, Arab Bank’s Xelerate Fund, and Emurgo Kepple Ventures joined as investors. MoneyHash said Angel investor Jason Gardner, the founder of Marqeta, took part in the round too. Some previous investors, like COTU and RZM Investment, also added their support.
MoneyHash Simplifies Payments In Africa
According to the update, this funding follows the MoneyHash’s $4.5 million seed round in February last year. The company said that earlier investments focused on helping businesses handle payments in Africa. Experts noted that MoneyHash’s unified platform could solve long-standing issues in the continent’s financial systems.
Africa’s financial systems have many separate payment platforms. MoneyHash said it has created technology that combines these systems into one. This platform helps businesses handle payments simply and improves customer experiences.
MoneyHash announced that it is working to help small and medium-sized businesses, which play a key role in Africa’s economy. The company said it is focused on solving problems with broken payment systems to expand access to these financial services.
The company said it wants to fix these problems so that financial services become simpler and more reachable for businesses. MoneyHash believes that improving these systems will give people and businesses in Africa better access to money and payments.
African fintech startups are attracting attention from global investors. MoneyHash said it is part of a growing trend in which fintech companies lead in venture capital funding on the continent. Reports revealed that eight of Africa’s unicorns—companies valued at $1 billion or more—are in the fintech sector.
Fintech Startups Aim For A More Inclusive Financial Future
Other players in African fintech are also working hard. For example, FairMoney in Nigeria is helping to bring payment systems together. The company’s purchase of PayForce shows how important it is to create simpler ways for businesses and people to handle payments.
In December last year, Juicyway, another company that helps with financial technology, secured $3 million in pre-seed funding. The company said it focuses on solving financial problems in Africa, just like MoneyHash. These updates show how fintech is helping to bring new opportunities across the continent.
According to the update, simplifying financial interactions is a key step toward building a more inclusive future. By reducing inefficiencies, companies like MoneyHash are laying the foundation for better integration and accessibility. Many believe this is only the beginning of Africa’s fintech transformation.
