For too long, moving within Africa, whether as a traveler, a student, or a businessperson, has been synonymous with friction. Different currencies, complex forex calculations, and high transaction fees have acted as invisible barriers, making the simple act of spending money a logistical challenge. Hizo was founded to tear these barriers down.
We are not just another fintech app; we are Africa’s first Pan-African Neo-Bank, built on a powerful vision: to create a seamless financial ecosystem where borders within Africa no longer dictate economic freedom. Our core mission is to empower Africans to move and spend across the continent with the same ease they would in their home country.
How Hizo is Unifying African Payments
Imagine traveling from Nigeria to Kenya and being able to pay for your taxi, your coffee, and your hotel directly in Kenyan Shillings, all while funding your transactions from your Nigerian Naira account without worrying about physical cash or unfair exchange rates. This is the reality Hizo is building.
Through our digital wallet, we provide users the means to carry out transactions across different African countries. When you spend, Hizo’s technology handles the conversion at the point of sale, offering real-time, transparent, and competitive exchange rates. This eliminates the need to carry multiple currencies, seek out forex bureaus, or pay exorbitant bank fees. We are making the dream of a truly integrated African market a practical reality, one transaction at a time.

Hizo Partners Bolt
Our partnership with Bolt is a strategic extension of our mission. We asked ourselves: what is one of the first and most essential needs upon arriving in a new African city? The answer came clear: reliable and affordable transportation. By teaming up with Africa’s leading platform on rides, we are addressing a critical pain point for the modern African traveler and citizen.
We believe in African unity. And that there should be a unifying way to spend your naira beyond Nigeria – from South Africa to Ghana, to Kenya—it should be a seamless experience from start to finish. Now, with Bolt by our side, we’re extending that seamless experience to your journeys around Africa
This partnership is not merely a marketing campaign – it is a deliberate step in enhancing the Hizo user experience. It’s about providing an end-to-end solution: Hizo handles the macro-financial journey (your money across borders), and now with Bolt, we reward and discount the micro-physical journey (your movement within a city).
How This Partnership Benefits You, Our Customer
This initiative delivers tangible value to our community in several key ways:
- Enhanced Travel Experience: we are reducing the total cost of your Pan-African journey. Get rewarded for transacting on the Hizo App, everybody wins, just transact and qualify.
- Real-World Utility: the reward is not a vague points system or a gimmick. It’s a direct discount on a practical, high-frequency service. It solves a real problem you face when navigating new urban landscapes.
- Seamless Integration: the process is designed for simplicity. You use Hizo for what it does best (seamless payments), and you automatically qualify for a benefit on a platform you already use or will find incredibly useful (seamless transport). It’s a holistic ecosystem of ease.
- Introduction to a New Lifestyle: for many, this offer will be their first taste of the integrated Pan-African lifestyle Hizo enables. It’s a demonstration of how frictionless finance and daily life can be when technology is built with a unifying purpose.
