Connecting Communities. Empowering Local Enterprise. Expanding Financial Access.
CoopVest Africa links communities, agents, service providers and merchants into one trusted Community Commerce Hub — backed by licensed fintech and commercial partners.
A single Community Commerce Hub, four reinforcing pillars.
Each pillar strengthens the others. Agents reach customers. Providers monetise skills. The Academy builds trust. Fintech partners power the rails.
POS Agent Network
A trained, licensed network of community agents providing cash-in, cash-out and digital services where branches don't reach.
Local Services Marketplace
Discover and book verified local service providers — from trades to tutors — all in one neighbourhood hub.
CoopVest Agent Academy
Hands-on POS-agent training, compliance fundamentals and a pathway into the CoopVest Agent Network.
Fintech & Commercial Connectivity
Payments, lending and settlement powered by appropriate licensed fintech and commercial partners.
Choose how you participate.
Operate a POS access point in your community
Earn commissions by offering cash-in, cash-out, bill payments and financial services to neighbours through CoopVest's POS Agent Network and licensed fintech partners.
List skilled services on the local marketplace
Plumbers, electricians, tutors, mechanics, hair stylists and more — list your services on the CoopVest Local Services Marketplace and get discovered by nearby customers.
Sell products through the Community Commerce Hub
Market retailers, SMEs and informal vendors can accept digital payments, access working-capital partners and reach new buyers through the Hub.
Bring CoopVest to your cooperative, village or neighbourhood
Cooperatives, savings groups, faith-based organisations and local councils can partner with CoopVest to roll out the Community Commerce Hub locally.
Fund measurable participation and training outcomes
Development agencies, foundations and CSR programmes can sponsor cohorts of agents, service providers and community members — with measurable outcomes on participation, training completion and local economic activity.
Evaluate the business model, pilot evidence and funding needs
Angels, venture investors and strategic partners can review CoopVest's business model, pilot results, risk framework and current funding round — then open a conversation with the leadership team.
One hub where community economic life connects.
The Community Commerce Hub is where neighbourhood agents, service providers, merchants and buyers meet — supported by training and powered by licensed fintech partners. It is designed to be trusted locally and compliant with national regulations, so people and small enterprises can transact, learn and grow in one place.
- Local agents handle cash-in/out and bill payments
