Read full description
The company's business model is centered on creating a payments, commerce, and rewards network powered by card payments. It serves individuals by providing multi-currency accounts (KES, GBP, EUR, USD), a payment card for online and in-store purchases, and a marketplace with over 185 partner brands. For businesses, Cloud9 offers a platform to list their services, create cashback offers, and gain real-time insights into customer data to boost loyalty and sales. For example, a partner reported a 35% increase in repeat customers within two months of joining the platform.
Founded by a team of ex-bankers and entrepreneurs, Cloud9 Money was established to solve the challenges they personally faced with the conventional banking system. While the specific founders are not publicly detailed, their mission is to empower users with seamless access to a range of financial services. The company has offices in Newark, Delaware, USA, and Nairobi, Kenya. Future plans include the launch of wealth management, credit, insurance, and cryptocurrency services to create a comprehensive "everything money" app.
