We're Digitizing the Trust Economy
FinSquare is not just an app. It is the modernization of a centuries-old tradition, bringing structure, security, and scale to how communities save and grow together.
Across Africa, community finance—Esusu, Ajo, Chama, Stokvel—is the lifeblood of economic growth. It accounts for billions of dollars in circulation.
Yet, it remains manual, risky, and disconnected from the formal financial system.
We saw friends lose savings because a treasurer disappeared. We saw cooperatives struggle to get loans because their records were in notebooks.
We asked ourselves:
What if we could keep the social trust of the community group, but add the security and scalability of modern banking?
The principles that guide everything we build
Transparency
is Non-Negotiable
Trust requires verification. We build systems where every penny is accounted for, visible to those who own it.
Community
First
We don't design for individuals alone. We design for the complex, beautiful web of relationships that make up African society.
Security
by Design
We treat community funds with the same rigor as institutional capital. Bank-grade security is our baseline.
Africans in savings groups
Circulating annually
Still rely on informal systems
Current digital infrastructure
From notebook ledgers to
digital operating systems
Cash & Notebooks
High risk, zero visibility, limited by geography
Chat Apps & Spreadsheets
Disorganized, manual reconciliation, prone to error
FinSquare
Automated, transparent, secure, and limitless
