Company / Our story

A better way to move money starts with the people moving it.

Made for Ethiopia

We're building the financial infrastructure Ethiopian businesses need to turn big ideas into everyday possibilities.

01 / The beginning

Why we started.

Across Ethiopia, people are creating businesses that deserve to reach further. Yet accepting a payment, paying a partner, or simply understanding where money is moving can still take more effort than building the thing itself.

We believe financial infrastructure should help businesses move forward, not hold them back. That belief is why we're building Zapi: one place to connect the essential tools for payments and money movement.

Our story is still being written, alongside the founders, developers, and operators building what's next.

02 / Our mission

Give Ethiopian businesses the financial foundation to build without limits.

Bring payment acceptance, payouts, and financial operations closer together through infrastructure designed to be understandable, dependable, and ready to grow with the people using it.
