Get instant access to M-KOPA products from day one, while building ownership over time through easy daily payments

We believe that everyone should have the power to achieve progress in their life, and access to financing unlocks this power. We reach customers who are underserved by traditional financial services, which often require customers to have a credit history or assets to secure financing.

Our innovative financing model offers them instant access to the product, while building ownership over time through flexible micro-payments.

Once a customer has paid off the instalments for their product, they can leverage this asset and their credit history with M-KOPA to access more products and services to progress in their life.

OUR HISTORY

It has been over 10 years since M-KOPA pioneered and kick-started the wider pay-as-you-go (PAYG) solar market. The concept for our business model was first sketched out by our founders on a whiteboard in early 2010. Our idea was to combine the power of digital micropayments with IoT (Internet-of-Things) connectivity to make credit more accessible, and solar was just the start.

Since then, we have built one of the world’s most advanced digital credit platforms. We have used it to provide nearly $600 million in credit that has enabled over 1 million customers to access solar lighting, energy-efficient televisions and fridges, smartphones, cash loans, and more.
