What We Do at Mukuru
Mukuru helps our customers move money around Africa and internationally. Sending cash for instant collection or topping up a bank account or mobile wallet has never been easier. We use the latest mobile and web-based technologies to give our customers the best experience possible. But that’s just half the story. To really understand us, you need to know the “why” behind all we do.
Mukuru is Passionate about Enriching the Lives of Others
It is the opportunity to enrich the lives of Africa’s people by helping family, friends and loved ones stay connected that motivates us to improve, to do more and to reach further. To us a remittance is more than money. It represents the love, care and hard work of the sender and can be a lifeline, an opportunity or even a celebration to the recipient.

Our Hiring Process
At Mukuru, we’re all about creating a strong sense of connection and belonging.
That’s why our hiring process is thoughtful and collaborative — because we’re not just adding skills to a team; we’re inviting people who share our values and purpose.
Here’s what the journey typically looks like:
You’ll start by meeting some of the people you’ll be working closely with, along with someone from our Human Capital team. If there’s mutual excitement about what we could build together, we may ask you to complete a technical task — like a case study presentation or a coding exercise — depending on the role you’ve applied for. This helps us understand how you think, solve, and create. If your work reflects what we’re looking for, we’ll move on to an online psychometric assessment before making a formal offer.
While the steps might vary depending on the role, every part of our recruitment process is designed to give us insight into your capabilities, your mindset, and how you could thrive at Mukuru. It’s just as much your opportunity to assess whether our way of working — rooted in learning, passion, and innovation — is the right fit for you.
Because when we find the right match, we all grow stronger — together.
