We started Points Africa with a simple belief:
every African deserves to be rewarded for their loyalty — in a way that’s easy, meaningful, and mobile-first. Too many programs were built for just banking or just travel, with complicated steps, impossible to build up enough points for rewards and little value. We decided to change that.
Our Mission
To power everyday rewards for Africa’s mobile generation, with reward points as easy to use as mobile money.
Our Story
Launched in Ghana, scaling across Africa, built by loyalty, fintech, and data experts who know this space — but never done like this before.
