The JV enables KanaCash to reach their goal and aims at capitalizing and implementing the tech suite in the untapped market. 

More than two million Sub-Saharan African immigrants living in the US transfer money to families regularly. More individuals have a mobile money account than a traditional bank account in Sub-Saharan Africa. Access to mobile money agents is more widespread, particularly in rural areas, than bank branches. As a result, mobile money is quickly becoming the preferred method to receive remittances in the region, but it is still not widely available by the key players in the market. KanaCash will start sending remittances from the US to 11 African markets. Remittance inflows to Sub-Saharan Africa soared 14.1 percent to $49 billion in 2021.
