Our story

Money management built by us, for us.

Money Palava was created by Africans in the diaspora, for Africans in the diaspora. We use it ourselves every day.

Our mission

Most budgeting apps were built with a single market in mind: Western consumers with one currency, one bank, one country. That assumption fails for the 30 million+ Africans living in the UK, US, Canada and across Europe — people who send money home every month, juggle multiple currencies, and often can't connect their banks to Plaid-based tools at all.

We are building the financial command centre we wished existed. Free to start. Private by default. Multi-currency from day one.
