Founded in 2009, Zoona's mission was to help communities thrive by providing accessible and reliable financial services. The company built one of Africa's first and most successful agent-based payment networks, primarily operating in Zambia and Malawi. Through its network of "Zoona Agents," customers could send and receive money, pay bills, and access other financial products without needing a traditional bank account. In 2022, Zoona's operational assets and technology were acquired by Mukuru, a prominent African fintech platform, to expand and enhance their combined service offerings across the continent.
