Founded in San Francisco in 2018 by Ugandan Ham Serunjogi and Ghanaian Maijid Moujaled, Chipper Cash is a mobile app that lets people transfer money across borders, fast and cheaply.

Currently available in seven African countries - Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda - as well as the UK, the startup claims to have four million users.

The firm is looking to expand to new countries and has recently introduced a crypto product and will soon let users invest in US stocks.

It has also begun offering remittances between the US and African countries and scored a deal with Twitter to power payments for the Tip Jar service.
