    Meet Raiz Digital Services Company. Founded by Segunfunmi Oyedele, cofounded by 🌍 Adesoye Babatunde, Oluwakemi Osayomi, and Gideon Balogun Raiz Digital Services Company (“RaizApp”, “Raiz”), is a visionary digital banking as a service platform designed to increase Africa’s inclusion and access to global finance. Raiz does this and transcends traditional banking limitations by offering individuals and businesses the ability to operate (receive, hold, send) bank accounts in multiple currencies without ever leaving their countries or requiring extra documentation. Raiz Digital Services Company also offers other features such as Ajo (a communal saving scheme), high-interest yield savings options, flexible loans, and other personalized, AI-enhanced banking experiences tailored to the unique needs and aspirations of the African population. Company’s Bio: The Story The vision for Raiz stemmed from our founder’s recognition of the barriers many Africans face in accessing global financial services. Africa as a continent is getting globally recognized in different sectors, but Africa still lacks the financial infrastructure to be able to maximize the yield of the recognition. Segun, the founder of Raiz, funded his college education in the United States of America working as a freelancer building software and products for businesses across the world, and for him and other talents and businesses like him, payment and international transactions and remittances was always an issue. Raiz simplifies financial transactions and empowers users by providing the tools needed to thrive in a global economy. Raiz Digital Services Company not only seeks to bridge the gap between the unbanked and the banking system, but also to elevate the banking experience to new heights—focusing on financial health, wealth-building, and an enriched user experience through technological innovation. The Vision Our vision is to pioneer a transformative digital banking experience in Africa and beyond, empowering individuals with personalized financial solutions, setting a new standard of innovation, and fostering prosperity. The Mission Our mission is to empower individuals to achieve their financial goals, drive economic growth, and transform the way banking is perceived and practiced in Africa through the use of cutting-edge technology. #startup #demoday #knightventures
