M-KOPA Sells Over 1 Million Smartphones, Driving Financial Inclusion in Africa

UK-based fintech company M-KOPA has achieved a significant milestone, selling over one million branded smartphones within a single year since its 2024 launch. This achievement underscores the company’s commitment to bridging the digital and financial divide in Africa, transforming the role of a smartphone for the continent’s everyday working population.

Beyond Connectivity: A Financial Gateway

M-KOPA’s smartphones are more than just communication devices; they are integrated financial platforms. Powered by the company’s Smart Money Platform, these devices provide access to affordable credit, health insurance, and device protection. Models like the X20, X2, M10, and S34 serve as vital tools for millions of underbanked Africans who, despite earning daily wages, are excluded from traditional financial services. By incorporating digital financial tools, M-KOPA enables users to build credit histories through small, manageable daily payments, unlocking opportunities for loans and data bundles, thereby fostering financial inclusion.

In conclusion, M-KOPA’s success in selling over a million smartphones highlights the potential of technology to address financial exclusion in Africa. By integrating financial services into its devices, M-KOPA is empowering everyday earners and creating pathways to financial stability and growth.
