Angaza

Angaza’s Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) platform capitalizes on trends in mobile phone and mobile banking infrastructure to remove the upfront price barrier to 30+ life-changing products (e.g. solar energy, clean cookstoves, solar water pumps) for last-mile consumers in emerging markets. Offering the option to accept pre-payments through mobile money helps our 150+ distribution partners in 50 countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America avoid the servicing costs of traditional loans, simplifies payment tracking, and streamlines the payment process for end-consumers. Offering a suite of data transfer technologies designed for all tiers of off-grid energy products—from entry-level study lamps to high-powered solar home systems—finally allows our partners to make energy affordable to the massive off-grid market in the developing world. Businesses using Angaza’s technology see a 5-fold increase in sales, and up to an 8-fold increase in revenue.
