Across Africa, over 85% of workers earn their income outside traditional employment. No payslip. No formal credit file. No access to affordable loans.

Meanwhile, rent takes up 30–40% of monthly income and builds absolutely nothing toward your financial future.

That is the gap, And that is what nesti fixes.
