About BuySimu

BuySimu, operated by Buy Simu Technologies, is a Nairobi-based fintech that offers buy-now-pay-later financing so customers can own smartphones, tablets and other devices without paying the full price upfront. Its 'Lipa Pole Pole' phone financing requires a low deposit, includes device protection and is repaid through M-Pesa.

The company also provides cash financing paid directly to M-Pesa, plus an Islamic financing option, and its website includes a repayment calculator and loan balance checker. BuySimu targets individuals and organisations across East Africa who want to stay connected but are held back by the upfront cost of devices. It lists a team of 11 to 50 people and a country selector on its site.
