About us
Lesaka is a South African financial technology company. We deliver financial services to consumers (B2C) and merchants (B2B) in Southern Africa through our proprietary banking and payment technologies. We offer banking, lending and insurance products to consumers and cash management solutions, bill payment technologies, value-added services, business funding and card acquiring solutions to formal and informal retail merchants. We started our journey as Lesaka in 1997 and we acquired the Connect Group in 2022. As Lesaka, we continue to grow our systems and capabilities to deliver meaningful fintech-enabled solutions across the consumer and merchant segments. Led by a new leadership team with strong credentials and international experience, and following a comprehensive strategic review, we have entered a new era for the group with a new name: Lesaka. Lesaka, much like the kraal it is named after (“Lesaka” means “kraal” in seSotho and seTswana), is about building and protecting the financial wellbeing of the customer and merchant communities we serve. We do this by championing financial inclusion for consumers and merchants through providing superior solutions, opening new possibilities for underserved markets. As Lesaka, we have been entrusted with a mission to build and protect the financial wellbeing of our communities. Our deeply felt awareness of this responsibility drives our choices and actions, as we fight for the financial inclusion of all South Africans.

At Lesaka Technologies, we believe in financial inclusion with purpose — and this Kazang story is exactly why we do what we do. #LesakaTechnologies #Kazang #FintechWithPurpose $LSAK $LSK
A merchant's business is more than just a corner shop, it’s the heart of a community, a connection point. When a spaza shop, salon, or bulk breaker partners with Kazang, they’re not just enabling safer transactions. They’re improving their cash flow, creating opportunities for themselves and customers, and bringing essential products and services closer to home. They ensure their community gets connected to more... Data creates access to information. Electricity nourishes families and minds. Entertainment can spark joy and dreams. Airtime can unlock new opportunities to create better futures. Kazang empowers micro merchants to uplift communities around them by simplifying payments and access to digital products. Our vision? A Kazang device on every counter in Africa. A special thank you to Uncle.Snitch and Timmy Henny for making our brand story come to life. #Kazang #MicroBusiness #CommunityEmpowerment #SmallBusinessGrowth
