About

Financial services built for the people banks leave out.

Pngme is a financial technology company that provides mobile banking and lending services to underserved communities in Africa. The company's purpose is to make financial services more accessible to individuals and small businesses with limited access to traditional banking, particularly in emerging markets.

Pngme's platform enables users to open mobile bank accounts, access loans, and receive payments through a secure, convenient mobile app. By leveraging technology and data, Pngme aims to empower people to take control of their finances and achieve their financial goals — working toward a world where everyone has access to financial services, regardless of location or socioeconomic status.

Oak Theory conducted extensive research and analysis to develop a strategic approach aligned with Pngme's business objectives and target audience. We built a modern, mobile-responsive website design that highlights Pngme's products and services, and developed custom features to streamline user onboarding and loan applications — resulting in a sleek, user-friendly website that supports Pngme's mission of financial inclusion for all.
