The one-stop shop powering small businesses with ambitions to grow

Oze believes that small businesses are the future of Africa. But, building the future is hard. To borrow the old African Proverb, “If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far, go with Oze.” 😎

We built the last business app you’ll ever need. From keeping good financial records to receiving payments and getting a loan, Oze brings business success within reach.

Together, with small business owners, banks, and other fintechs, we can create the future we all want to live in.

Our Values

We wake up every morning thinking how might we help small businesses grow and doing our best to live these values.

Small businesses
Small Businesses are the lifeblood of the African economy. The people who own and run them should be admired; they took a leap of faith to create something new for their family, their community, and their country.
Small businesses
Trust
We have a sacred task at Oze…we are the custodians of our customer’s business data. Not only must we keep it free from hacks and attacks but we need to always act in the best interest of our SMEs.
Trust
Quality
Some products just need to work and Oze is one of them. Every feature of the app is simple, intuitive, and powerful.

Collaboration
When you are trying to change a system, you can’t do it alone. Our customers (big and small) are an extension of our team, working together to build a future where every small business has a chance to succeed.
