SuperApp fast making waves

"Simplifying banking for the unbanked"

Fintech player SOLmate is fast realizing their dream of delivering a SuperApp to their growing customer base. From humble beginnings, and just a few hundred customers, SOLmate now has a customer base in the tens of thousands and growing. The reason is clear, the App is simple to use, convenient and cost effective. SOLmate is a real solution for the unbanked and underserved sector in South Africa.

Aside from the host of payments services housed in the App, customers can also own a fully functional prepaid debit card to tap or swipe at thousands of retail stores countrywide, withdraw cash from any ATM, cash in and out at selected points of sale and shop safely online.

SOLmate has a vision for a SuperApp, in other words, one app that virtually provides every service you could possibly want in the palm of your hands. No need to download multiple apps when one app can do the job. From controlling your payments and finances to ordering gifts and entertainment vouchers, to sending money to loved ones overseas. SOLmate’s vision is fast becoming reality.

“We are addressing the top needs of customers in our target market, and providing those services through our App. For example, we will allow customers to take out loans, book bus tickets, and even order their groceries through our SOLshop business in the coming months. We have followed trends globally and understand this market to be tech savvy and hungry for such solutions.” This according to COO Jonathan Holden, who has been with the business from the very early days.

“It’s been an exciting and challenging journey and what makes it so rewarding is when you see lives positively impacted by your product and services every day”.
