Boya Makes it easy for businesses in Africa to issue corporate expense cards instantly and great software to control and track spending. For example, if you run a pharmaceutical company, you can use Boya to instantly issue Visa cards to sales and marketing teams and get real-time visibility and control over their spending. 50M+ businesses in Africa have no easy way to streamline and track their employee spending in real-time. So we are building a corporate card and a spend management platform that enables businesses to streamline spend workflows and provide real-time reporting. We are building the first corporate card that supports mobile money, banks and card schemes payment workflows
