Cowrywise is a fintech startup licensed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of Nigeria as a fund manager. We are digitizing the investment management industry in Africa and democratizing access to savings and investment products for the growing population of the underserved African middle class and millennials. Our mission is to empower the next generation with powerful wealth-building tools to enable them to improve their financial health. With over 500,000 personal accounts, our growth demonstrates the rapid adoption of digital alternatives to traditional wealth management products. Cowrywise is backed by venture capital firms that share our vision. Our existing investors include Quona Capital, Y Combinator, Venture Souq, SHL Capital and Kairos 50 Ventures. Cowrywise is also the first Nigerian company to be accepted into the Catalyst Fund program, backed by JP Morgan and UKAID. Cowrywise is being built by people with a shared vision that easy access to powerful wealth-building tools is a fundamental financial right everyone deserves.
