Invisible Giant
Money that crosses the border like a text.
The Global South is stitching its own borders together, one free transfer at a time - money that moves as freely as the people do.
For decades, moving money across an African border cost more than the errand it paid for.
Accra and Nairobi, 2018. Ham Serunjogi and Maijid Moujaled built Chipper Cash so money crosses the continent like a text message. More than 5 million users now send and receive across 21-plus African countries, at no fee - a trader in Lagos paying a supplier in Kampala, a daughter abroad sending her mother rent.
The decision that mattered: treat the African border as a line to erase, not a toll to charge.
