Marketing Manager FIDO

Who are we
There are 2 billion adults worldwide that don’t have a bank account. That’s close to 40% of the world’s adult population. 350 million of these live in Sub Saharan Africa. They are hardworking, young, connected adults that lack access to the traditional banking system.
Fido is changing that. We are building a borderless digital bank so that everyone can access financial products like credit, savings, and payments that make lives easier and better.
