Chipper Cash was founded in 2018 by Ham Serunjogi and Maijid Moujaled, with the aim to  “chip away” at the problem of inaccessible financial services, a high population of underbanked consumers, reliance on cash for daily commerce, and the difficulty of cross-border transactions. Today, Chipper Cash is connecting more than one million people in  Africa, one transaction at a time with an easy-to-use mobile app that makes money transfers fast, secure and free. Whether it’s sending money home to support your family, running a  cross-border business, or paying local expenses, Chipper Cash saves time, saves money,  and opens up new opportunities for Africans everywhere.

With plans for rapid expansion, the Chipper Cash mobile app is currently available to consumers and businesses in seven countries, including Ghana, Rwanda, Tanzania,  Uganda, Nigeria, and South Africa. Headquartered in San Francisco, California with offices across the globe, Chipper Cash delivers fair financial services that make the lives of millions of Africans better in a small way, every day. Chipper’s mission is to unlock global opportunities and bring Africa together, one transaction at a time. Come join us.
