Problems
In Gambia, financial exclusion and a lack of digital banking infrastructure have created significant barriers for individuals and businesses to access modern financial services. These challenges needed immediate attention to promote economic growth and improve lives.
Challenge 1. Difficulty in promoting financial inclusion
Cash Up faced a major challenge in reaching the unbanked population of Gambia. A large portion of people in Gambia relied on informal methods to manage their money. This made it hard for Cash Up to offer Gambia people secure and formal financial services.
Without access to these services, individuals struggled to save, invest, or make secure transactions. This has slowed down economic development and restricted opportunities for financial empowerment.
Challenge 2. Poor banking infrastructure
Gambia's banking systems are outdated and not well-connected to digital platforms. This made it hard for Cash Up to build an eWallet platform that works with traditional banking systems.
This challenge made it difficult to scale their operations and provide a seamless financial solution, especially in rural and underserved areas where banking services were almost non-existent.
Solutions
To overcome these challenges, DigiPay.Guru provided tailored technological solutions that enabled Cash Up to deliver accessible financial services and expand their reach, even in areas with poor infrastructure.
Solution 1. A single eWallet platform for merchants and customers
DigiPay.Guru developed a unified eWallet platform tailored to Cash Up's needs. This platform allowed both merchants and customers to perform secure transactions such as deposits, withdrawals, and payments.
The user-friendly interface made financial services accessible and reliable for a broad audience. It provided a single solution that bridged the gap between formal financial services and the unbanked population
Solution 2. Building and expanding an agent network with an eWallet app
To address the problem of lack of banking infrastructure in the Gambia, DigiPay.Guru introduced an agent-based model supported by an agent app. This app empowered agents to offer eWallet services like deposits and withdrawals for customers.
This agent-based model made financial services easily accessible in areas without banks - rural and underserved regions while creating a widespread agent network for their business.
