About Mandzong
Mandzong is a startup fintech platform dedicated to financial inclusion for the unbanked and underserved at the bottom of the economic pyramid or for people who have such roots in collectivist societies who want to maintain traditional ways of banking and building social ties. We reimagine these traditions using technology. We digitize traditional Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLAs) and Rotating Savings and Credit Associations (ROSCAs) through an intuitive, global mobile app. Offering secure digital wallets, seamless loans, and community-driven tools, Mandzong empowers users with 24/7 visibility transforming informal savings into a pathway for economic empowerment and growth. We take away the heavy lift of financial management and accounting which creates friction in these groups, creating the time for groups to focus on strengthening and extending group ties.
Our Story
Mandzong is built on the proven strength of community-based financial systems like VSLAs and ROSCAs, which have long supported families and communities across Africa through collective savings and mutual support. Drawing from this legacy, Mandzong combines deep financial expertise with modern technology to strengthen and scale these community-driven practices, bridging tradition with innovation to help millions build financial resilience and long-term opportunity.
Goal
Mandzong aims to capture 2% of the world's ROSCAs and VSLAs, digitizing informal savings networks that manage over $500 billion annually. By scaling our platform across Africa, broader developing world where collectivists societies thrive and diaspora communities in Europe and North America, we target onboarding 10 million users by 2030, unlocking $1 billion in accessible finance and fostering sustainable micro-business growth.
