Web and mobile banking platform for the SACCO of the future, delivered today.

Kwara

Kwara offers a secure, simple and affordable digital banking platform for SACCOs and their members, who are often excluded by traditional banks.

Kwara helps SACCOs better serve their members.

Our mission is to make building wealth together frictionless.

Our vision is to bring financial health to all.

We offer a cloud-based, secure digital banking platform, compatible with all modern browsers and accessible from both smartphones and feature phones. 

In an environment where most individuals are left behind, securing financial needs is not an easy task. Sudden events, unplanned situations and lack of safety nets push people to:

Dive into the Instant Loan vs Debt Trap spiral

Put stress on family / friends and deteriorate ties

So we set out to help build financial independence the best way we knew how, by empowering existing saving cultures to grow and thrive in the 21st century.

We're a small team with big ambitions. And having fun while at it.

You always develop yourself and learn from mistakes. You would leave Kwara a better person than when you came in. You are curious about new ideas and practices. You try to understand the why. You have a generally curious outlook on life. You search for answers outside the box. You are willing to try new things.

“Beating the competition is relatively easy. Beating yourself is a never-ending commitment.” - Nike

The user is your main priority. You ensure all users have the best experience possible. You care about the human in the user. You always have the user in mind in your daily work. You are happy when the user succeeds.

“Yet, taught by time, my heart has learned to glow for other’s good, and melt at other’s woe.” – Homer

You are happy to show up at work. You actually enjoy spending time together. You light up the workspaces with emojis and GIFs. You participate in team events when you can. You make people’s day lighter.

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” - John Lennon 

You communicate clearly even with people in different locations. You move information from within your mind to the shared environment. You explain what you mean. You don’t assume what others mean, rather you ask for clarifications. You give all context and relevant information in a timely manner to help team members understand you and succeed. You manage expectations upfront.

“Honesty and transparency make you vulnerable. Be honest and transparent anyway.” - Mother Teresa

You focus on being one team. You remain accommodative for everyone. You are respectful of differences. You actively eliminate implicit biases. You don’t discriminate.

“Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eye for an instant?”  – Henry David Thoreau

You reach out to your team members across teams and locations. You help a team member when needed. You align with the Kwara strategy. You actively try to gather opinions from team members.
