About Umbai

Umbai is a Lilongwe-based platform that lets users send airtime, data bundles and bill payments for Zimbabwe, Malawi and South Africa. Its LinkedIn description presents it as a data-driven platform for informal traders and micro and small businesses, giving them access to a range of goods and services for retail.

The company says its technology also unlocks business management tools that small traders would not normally afford, to support day-to-day operations and growth. The website offers little further detail on pricing or partners. LinkedIn lists the company as Umbai-Malawi under telecommunications, with a team of 11 to 50 people.
