Cashlet, a revolutionary fintech platform transforming financial inclusion, is celebrating a year of outstanding growth and impact following regulatory licensing by the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) of Kenya.
The CMA approval enabled Cashlet to go commercially public in January 2024, empowering 13,000 active users and facilitating over $1.2 million in gross inflows, with more than $500,000 in assets under management (AUM). Cashlet has achieved a 50% monthly growth in gross inflows, cementing its role as a pioneer in financial inclusion in Kenya.
“This past year has been a turning point for financial empowerment in Kenya,” said Aggrey Obimbo, Co-Founder and Chief Commercial Officer of Cashlet. “The CMA’s regulatory approval enabled us to launch a platform that has made saving and investing accessible to underserved communities. The enthusiasm and trust from our users demonstrate the urgent need for innovative financial tools. Our focus remains on deepening our impact in Kenya while preparing for expansion into broader African markets.”
