Jamboo joins Crowdcube in groundbreaking fundraising campaign
2 hrs ago | Views
Fintech company Jamboo has embarked on an exciting new chapter, launching its fundraising campaign on Crowdcube, the UK's largest crowdfunding platform.
Jamboo, co-founded by Zimbabwean entrepreneurs Takwana Tyaranini and Innocent Chinyama, believe it's the first Zimbabwean-founded fintech company to raise capital on the platform.
The campaign represents a pivotal move for Jamboo as it advances its mission to revolutionise financial access for millions of African expatriates worldwide, initially targeting the African diaspora in the UK, followed by broader expansion into Europe.
Jamboo is set to deliver bespoke online banking and investment services tailored to the needs of expatriates in their new countries of residence, while also extending support across Africa.
Crowdcube, renowned for helping startups like Monzo and Revolut, has raised over £1.4 billion and boasts a network of 1.7 million registered investors.
Takwana Tyaranini, COO of Jamboo, said: “Fundraising on Crowdcube represents a pivotal moment for Jamboo and the future of digital banking for Africa. This opportunity allows us to further establish our presence in the fintech space and scale our services to meet the growing needs of the African diaspora.
“Crowdcube's proven track record of supporting disruptive startups, such as Monzo and Revolut, positions Jamboo to make a significant impact in providing transparent, affordable financial solutions across borders for our community.”
Jamboo's app is already live and delivering innovative solutions to meet the unique financial needs of the African diaspora. Customers can open UK accounts and send money to any account in the UK and also mobile top-ups globally, with full transparency on transaction costs. In the coming weeks, Jamboo is set to launch Mastercard powered virtual cards.
The app is available on iOS and Android in the UK and offers an inclusive onboarding process that takes a few minutes. Members are also set to receive a Jamboo companion card, to provide even more flexibility in managing their cross-border financial transactions.
