Innovation Memo: Featuring Paul Kirungi, Co-founder of Zofi Cash

Zofi Cash is transforming payroll practices in Uganda by providing salaried employees with real-time access to their earned wages, breaking away from the traditional 30-day pay cycle. Through the Zofi Cash app, employees can request salary advances in minutes, supported by a flexible fee structure and seamless integration with employer payroll systems. This approach empowers users to manage their finances effectively, reducing reliance on high-interest loans and promoting financial stability.

Zofi Cash operates in a competitive market and faces challenges related to regulatory compliance, cybersecurity, and building user trust. Additionally, the need to ensure scalable, reliable service as demand grows is critical. These challenges highlight opportunities for refining digital services, forming strategic partnerships with employers, and strengthening Zofi Cash’s role as a responsible financial wellness tool.

In today’s Innovation Memo, we profile Zofi Cash with Co-founder and CEO, Paul Kirungi.
