Yoco

At the heart of Yoco is a culture built on the belief that small businesses are the engine of economic growth. We are not just a payments company; we are a community of bold entrepreneurs and innovators dedicated to breaking down the barriers that prevent small businesses from thriving. Our mission is rooted in 'Open Commerce'—the idea that by providing accessible, simple, and powerful financial tools, we can unlock the potential of entrepreneurs across Africa and the Middle East. We celebrate the bravery it takes to start a business, and we see ourselves as partners in that journey, working tirelessly to ensure that every merchant, no matter how small, has the opportunity to get paid, run their business effectively, and grow.

Our team, known as 'Yoconauts', embodies a spirit of curiosity, collaboration, and resilience. We believe in 'failing fast and learning faster', fostering an environment where experimentation is encouraged and diverse perspectives are valued. We are intentional about connecting with our customers and each other, ensuring that our solutions are not just technological feats but human-centric tools that solve real-world problems. Whether it's through our hybrid working model that promotes balance or our commitment to continuous learning, Yoco is a place where passion meets purpose, driving us to create a more inclusive economy for everyone.
