Unlock with the biometrics your phone already trusts. The app locks itself again the moment it goes idle.
Superapp
A real account number the day you sign up. Transfers that land, every bill in one place, and an assistant that can tell you where the month actually went.
Traders, drivers, students, nurses.
Built for how Nigeria actually pays.

“What did I spend on data?”
A trader taking payment at a stall and a student splitting a light bill need the same account to behave in two completely different ways. It does.
Five people, five screens, five completely different Tuesdays.
Not a wallet with a bank bolted on. One account that receives, sends, pays, splits and explains itself — each with a page of its own.
Ibrahim buys prepaid tokens for the shop and the house in one sitting. The token lands in the app, not in a text message he has to go hunting for at 11pm.

The same account number behaves differently depending on whose hands it's in. Here is what that looks like.
Collects excursion money from forty parents into one account she can actually reconcile.
Takes a deposit on booking and the balance on delivery — both to the same number.
School fees, light bill, weekend airtime for her mum — one app, one evening.
Market traders, drivers, nurses, students, a caterer, a barber. Everyone below uses the same app for something completely different.
Not a settings page you have to go and find. The protections are on from the first sign-in, and you can see exactly what they are.
Unlock with the biometrics your phone already trusts. The app locks itself again the moment it goes idle.
Money never moves on a tap alone. Every transfer and every bill is authorised with your transaction PIN.
Every signed-in device and session is listed in your Security Centre, and you can revoke any of them from anywhere.
Traffic is protected with 256-bit encryption, and every action on your account is written to an audit trail.
Start the moment you sign up and raise your limits whenever you need to. These are the real limits the app enforces, not a marketing table.

Your referral code
Emeka sells airtime on top of phone accessories. His referral code has paid for more stock than any loyalty scheme ever did — because it pays in money, into the same balance.
Kobo is being built as one connected set of apps. KoboVault is the first of them, and it is the part everything else will run on — the account, the identity and the balance.

A ride, a meter token and a plate of food all come out of the same money — and land in the same activity list, with the same receipts.
Whatever you spend it on, it is one history you can search, one statement you can export, and one assistant that can explain it.
When these ship they’ll appear on this site as things that exist, with their own page, like everything else here.
