Qwili is a South African fintech company founded in 2019 that aims to digitize the informal economy. The company offers a low-cost smartphone, the "Qwili Pula," which comes pre-loaded with their app, functioning as a point-of-sale (POS) device. This allows informal merchants and micro-SMEs to accept payments and sell value-added services such as airtime, electricity, groceries, and DStv subscriptions to their communities, effectively acting as a bridge to the digital economy for underserved customers.
