Fingo, a Kenyan company, has partnered with Ecobank to launch a neobanking mobile app called Fingo Africa.

The app also reduces the cost of money transfers by allowing users to send money to other users of Fingo for free and to M-Pesa users at reduced rates. Other features of the app include bill payment, savings accounts with goal setting, and the ability to create and send payment links to receive payments.
