About Kite
Kite is a Lagos-based fintech app that runs a peer-to-peer cash access network. Users who need physical cash request it in the app and have it delivered to them, while people nearby can offer cash and earn a fee when they complete a delivery.
The app publishes its rates and lets users estimate the cost of requesting or offering a given amount. Kite is available on iOS and Android and serves people in Nigeria who struggle to find cash through ATMs or agents. It operates as a marketplace that matches cash requests with community members willing to provide them.
