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.
