Our Story
In the heart of Angola, where street markets hum with life and mobile phones are everywhere, millions still lack access to basic financial services.
We saw mothers walking long distances under the sun just to pay a bill. We met ambitious entrepreneurs with no way to accept payments. We heard too many stories: cash lost to theft, hard-earned money drained by fees, life savings stolen and dreams held back by a system that fails those it should serve.
Then we realized: The answer wasn't a bank. It was already in their hands.
Tele Kumbu was born from a simple belief: Money should move as freely as people do.
"Kumbu," local slang for money, now stands for something far greater - financial freedom at your fingertips, shared across neighbourhoods, marketplaces and families.
Though we are currently headquartered in Australia, our roots run deep in Angola. We're not just building a platform but a bridge for the people, one that empowers them to grow together through every transaction. Whether they're a street vendor in Luanda's bustling markets, a farmer supplying Huambo's tables, or a student in Benguela shaping our future.
Our mission? To unlock Angola's $50 billion informal economy, one secure digital wallet at a time. Because every Angolan - banked or unbanked - deserves the power to send, spend, and save with ease. When money moves freely through our Angolan communities, everyone grows stronger together.
We're not just launching an app.
We're building a movement.
A cashless, connected future where every exchange builds trust, every user gains control, and financial freedom is finally within reach, so no Angolan gets left behind.
This isn't just fintech.
This is Tele Kumbu.
Born from Angola's spirit. Built for Angola's future.
