What it is
Financial access for people the banking system was never built around.
The problem
A great many people in Africa have money, work and obligations, and no traditional access to banking.
That is usually described as a gap in infrastructure. It is closer to a gap in imagination — the products were designed for someone else, and everyone outside that shape was called unbanked.
The context
Where this came from — the market, the constraints, who else was in the room.
What I built
The specific things you designed and shipped. Screens, systems, decisions.
Process
How the work actually went. Including the parts that did not work.
Outcomes
What happened after it shipped. Only numbers you can stand behind.
Lessons
What you would tell yourself at the start. This is the part people remember.
