About financial services companies in East Africa

East African finance is one of the most innovative banking landscapes in the world. Kenya invented mobile money at scale with M-Pesa, the SACCO movement holds a meaningful share of regional savings, and a generation of fintech startups is building credit scoring, cross-border payments, insurance, and wealth platforms that compete with the incumbents. The traditional sector of banks, microfinance institutions and audit and accounting firms has had to modernise to keep up.

EABD's finance listings cover commercial banks, microfinance, SACCOs, insurance companies and brokers, fintech platforms, payment processors, investment advisory firms, accountants, and tax advisors. Verification on this category is taken seriously: we cross-check Central Bank, SACCO regulator, and IRA/IBSL/UIA registration where applicable, because trust matters more in finance than in any other category.

EABD's coverage of Burundi is selective and growing, with a focus on businesses that are actively trading and verifiable.
