Empowering African Commerce

Kopaduka is on a mission to transform how African marketplace merchants and customers transact. We're building the future of buy now, pay later for Africa.

Our Mission

To democratize access to credit for African marketplace merchants and their customers. We believe that everyone deserves the ability to buy what they need, when they need it, regardless of their immediate cash flow.

To become the leading buy now, pay later platform across Africa, enabling millions of merchants and customers to transact with trust, convenience, and flexibility.

The principles that guide everything we do at Kopaduka.

Innovation

We continuously improve our platform to better serve African businesses.

Community

Our Story

Kopaduka was born from a simple observation: thousands of African marketplace merchants were losing sales because their trusted customers didn't have immediate cash to make purchases.

Founded in 2023, we set out to solve this problem by building a platform that enables merchants to offer credit to their customers in a secure, transparent, and efficient way.

Today, Kopaduka serves over 10,000 merchants across Kenya, with plans to expand to other African markets. Our platform has facilitated over KES 2 billion in credit transactions, helping businesses grow and customers access the goods they need.
