of these people reside in Sub-Saharan Africa. JUMO believes technology provides the
opportunity to connect everyone, everywhere with great choices and we are using the
cloud to rebuild financial infrastructure. We use behavioural data to understand our
customers and we create digital products that give them unprecedented
empowerment and control over their own financial identity.

JUMO has more than five million customers with a further 150-million under integrated
coverage in 2017 our growth trajectory is steep therefore every person we hire is
critically important for us to function as a high-performance scalable machine. A
blueprint for our mission does not exist, thus we look for people who are
growth-minded, curious and have a high tolerance for ambiguity and who can risk
failure in striving for success.
