Wekeza App Empowers the African and Caribbean Diaspora with Tools for Wealth-Building

For the African and Caribbean diaspora, access to culturally relevant financial resources has long been a challenge. Wekeza, a dynamic new platform available on iOS and Android, is changing that by combining education, investing, and community into one powerful solution.

Through multilingual financial education, Wekeza helps users master budgeting, saving, credit-building, and investing with interactive lessons in English, French, Swahili, Haitian Creole, Yoruba, Twi, Zulu, Hausa, and more—making financial literacy both accessible and rooted in culture.

The app also delivers affordable investing opportunities, offering direct access to U.S. stocks and ETFs for as little as $1 per month. With no high minimums or hidden fees and partnerships with trusted broker-dealers, Wekeza removes barriers that have historically kept many out of the market.

In addition, live town halls with licensed diaspora financial experts provide users with real-time advice, tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities within their communities.

Wekeza’s award-winning curriculum, trusted by schools, educators, and local governments, extends its impact beyond individuals to families and communities, creating a foundation for generational financial empowerment.

Backed by bank-grade security and a commitment to transparency, Wekeza ensures a safe, trustworthy environment for managing and growing wealth.

By combining education, community, and investing, Wekeza is more than an app—it’s a financial empowerment movement for the diaspora.
