OUR OFFERING AND MARKET POTENTIAL

This enables SPENN to capitalize on banking both the large unbanked and banked population as well as businesses, without it coming at the expense of the end-user. With more than 1,7 billion people still outside the financial system, it represents a business opportunity on a global scale by utilizing superior technology and intuitive products to democratize the financial markets which have ultimately solved the biggest issue within financial inclusion.

TOP TIER BANK PARTNERSHIPS FAST TRACKS TO MARKETS AND COMMERCIALIZATION

Launching the SPENN platform in partnership with a bank fast tracks the route to market, builds a stronger brand and initial presence in the market. The partnership also provides a crucial trust component for customers as the bank is known and offers secure storage of the customer funds held in the SPENN platform.

The cost to open and maintain bank accounts in emerging markets is generally expensive, making it unavailable for the unbanked. Through the SPENN platform, a key issue is solved for banking partners by turning the cost of onboarding users into an income. The SPENN platform is easily integrated through APIs with the bank’s core banking system. SPENN digitizes the onboarding process fully, and as such removes the onboarding cost for the banks, which pays a maintenance fee to SPENN to capture some of the customer acquisition cost.

SPENN’s core commercial partnerships are with top-tier banks in its target markets. SPENN has a stable relationship with partner banks that offers the solution to the markets in Rwanda, Tanzania, and Zambia, endorsed by the respective Central Banks.

SPENN Technology is partnered with Access Bank in Zambia and I&M Bank in Rwanda and Tanzania. In addition, SPENN Technology works with other key commercial partners that enable it to build the financial ecosystem. Through its current relationships, SPENN Technology has demonstrated a product/market fit and ability to work with multiple different stakeholders in innovating and developing products to meet the needs of customers regardless of their financial status, from low-income households to businesses.
