Lemonade Finance

Hi everyone, We are excited to share Lemonade - a digital bank for the African diaspora. We started lemonade finance to help immigrants with their personal banking and business banking needs in North America & Europe. Our story: @rian_cochran and I helped build some of the biggest startups in Africa - Flutterwave, and OPay. While working at these companies, one of the patterns that stood out to us was that Africans were paying up to 30% more than the global average to move money abroad, and most African countries are only enabled to receive, but unable to send. Zooming out on the problem, we saw the same was true for the diaspora - though their needs were greater. As we started, we discovered remittance wasn't enough for the diaspora: there's limited access to African currencies abroad, it's difficult to open and maintain accounts back home, getting money out of Africa is a challenge, the size, and frequency of their transactions is much greater. Our solution: Lemonade helps African diaspora open accounts in their country of residence in North America as well as manage bank accounts in Africa to send and receive money in one app. Traction: We have over 8,000 users with license coverage in the UK, Canada, and the US.

Looks great, I'd love to try it. But it doesn't seem like its available on the Nigerian app store

Congrats Ridwan & Rian! 🙌 🎉

I'm from Nigeria and unfortunately can't tell this app... What would you advise me to do? I want to use your e-banking application, but I have to use another bank due to the lack of opportunity. I am interested in the issue of a loan agreement. I want to take out a loan to buy myself new furniture. But many banks take a considerable percentage of the loan. I am not satisfied with this, so I am now looking for a good bank. Recently I was at Mortgage Advice Liverpool https://Liverpoolmoneyman.com , and a specialist advised me of your bank. So I'm waiting for an opportunity when the app will be available in other countries.
