$10m for financial inclusion for founders in Africa
The Bankiffy Fintech Accelerator Program equips founders with a pre-built, enterprise-grade digital finance platform to rapidly deploy financial services in underserved communities.
By compressing product launch timelines from years to minutes, Bankiffy enables founders to concentrate on user acquisition, revenue generation, and measurable financial inclusion outcomes. This efficiency is reinforced through KPI-driven grants of up to $25,000, directly tied to user sign-ups and transaction volumes—ensuring capital is deployed against real traction.
Founders launch at zero upfront cost, leveraging proven infrastructure backed by Fuspay’s $20 million commitment to Africa’s financial ecosystem. This model significantly reduces execution risk, accelerates time-to-market, and creates a scalable pipeline of fintech startups positioned for sustainable growth.
Building on Bankiffy's commitment to financial inclusion, Fuspay offers selected startup founders an unparalleled opportunity: a fully featured digital banking suite—complete with white-label financial applications and robust administrative controls—valued at a $50,000 licensing fee and provided entirely at no cost.
This initiative removes traditional barriers to entry for entrepreneurs in underserved African markets, enabling the rapid deployment of customized neo-banking solutions tailored to local needs.
Launching a startup requires more than an idea—it demands the ability to navigate complex technical, regulatory, and funding challenges.
Through this initiative, each selected startup receives year-round customer and technical support, full license coverage, regulatory and compliance assistance, and ongoing, team-specific training programs.
In addition, founders benefit from structured investment-readiness coaching, equipping them to successfully raise capital, scale sustainably, and deliver measurable impact within their communities.
The Performance Grant Program incentivizes fintech founders to deliver measurable community impact. Grants are evaluated monthly and disbursed at $1 per qualifying new user, defined as users who successfully sign up and complete a minimum of three transactions on the Fuspay platform.
Each startup is eligible to receive up to $25,000, ensuring rewards are directly tied to real adoption, sustained usage, and inclusive financial access.
Our program hosts three cohorts annually, with applications accepted throughout the year and swift decision-making to ensure rapid onboarding.
