Mojaloop
What is it?

Mojaloop facilitates the creation of interoperable payment platforms, connecting financial providers and customers, especially those excluded from the banking system. Acting more as a reference model than a financial application, Mojaloop seeks to remove barriers of time, cost and technical complexity, addressing the needs of the world's 1.7 billion unbanked people. Designed for payments interoperability, it offers a path to expand digital financial services. Mojaloop's focus is to enable organizations to build digital payment systems that promote financial accessibility. Using Mojaloop Foundation software, entities can create platforms that facilitate seamless transactions between a wide range of actors, including users, banks, governments, and more, effectively integrating underserved populations into the digital economy. This marks a significant step towards broader financial inclusion.

What problems does it solve?

Mojaloop solves the challenge of integrating unbanked people into the digital economy by facilitating the creation of interoperable payment platforms. This reference model eliminates barriers, allowing the expansion of digital financial services to the unbanked. Improves financial accessibility and promotes inclusion.
