Lesaka Technologies

Lesaka Technologies Lesaka Technologies is a fintech company digitising commerce in Africa. Proudly listed on NASDAQ & JSE.

We provide digital banking, payments, lending, insurance and merchant solutions for consumers, businesses and enterprises. We started our journey as Net1 in 1997 and we acquired the Connect Group in 2022. As Lesaka, we continue to grow our systems and capabilities to deliver meaningful fintech-enabled solutions across the consumer and merchant segments. Led by a new leadership team with strong cre

dentials and international experience, and following a comprehensive strategic review, we have entered a new era for the group with a new name: Lesaka. Lesaka, much like the kraal it is named after (“Lesaka” means “kraal” in seSotho and seTswana), is about building and protecting the financial wellbeing of the customer and merchant communities we serve. We do this by championing financial inclusion for consumers and merchants through providing superior solutions, opening new possibilities for underserved markets. We are Lesaka | The symbol of the kraal

For thousands of years livestock have been seen as a symbol of security, community, and wealth. Protecting and caring for your livestock was central to preserving the dignity and pride of your community. To protect these animals, and the communities that depended on them, enclosures were built commonly known as “kraals” in South Africa. Because of their importance, kraals were built in the centre of a community and seen as the social and economic heart of the village. Only the most reliable people were entrusted with their care and protection. As Lesaka, we have been entrusted with a mission to build and protect the financial wellbeing of our communities. Our deeply felt awareness of this responsibility drives our choices and actions, as we fight for the financial inclusion of all South Africans.

The future of payments is being built today and Lesaka is proud to be part of the conversation shaping what's next.

As a co-sponsor of the Business Day Payments feature magazine, Lesaka contributed to some of the most important conversations shaping the future of financial services in Southern Africa.

From fintech investment opportunities and digital payments innovation to the potential of rand-backed stablecoins, our perspectives highlighted the trends, technologies and opportunities transforming the payments landscape.

The publication also featured insights from Lincoln Mali and Kagiso Khaole, reinforcing Lesaka's position as a leader in fintech innovation and a driving force behind financial inclusion, digital commerce and the growth of South Africa's informal economy.

We were equally proud to see our new One Lesaka brand identity showcased throughout the magazine, reflecting our unified vision and ambition as we continue building the future of fintech.

A proud moment of legacy, leadership, and humility – congratulations to our CEO, Lincoln Mali!

Last week, Lincoln was honoured in Boston with the Legacy & Leadership Award from the Urban College of Boston, alongside formal citations from the City of Boston and the Massachusetts Senate.

He also delivered the commencement address at Urban College of Boston’s 30th graduation ceremony, where he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate in Humanities. A full-circle moment from his own Harvard graduation in 2013, where he stood as class speaker.

At the same time, back home in Johannesburg, Lincoln’s children accepted the Most Inspirational Leader Award on his behalf at the Future Fit Awards. A deeply personal moment of family and legacy.
True to who he is, Lincoln has been clear that recognition of this kind is never about one person. He credited his wife, Sva, the Lesaka team, and the volunteers of the Lincoln Mali Leadership Foundation.

His words will stay with us:
“Recognition that does not open doors for others is just a trophy gathering dust.”

For us at Lesaka, this moment reflects the work we are building together: creating access, serving people, and using our platform to open doors for others.

Congratulations, Lincoln!
May we keep blazing the trail, together.

Today, Lesaka turns four. Four years of progress, built by ALL of us. Four years of building, moving, learning and growing together. Not because of one person, one team or one division, but because of all of us.

From the teams on the ground to those behind the scenes, every staff member plays a part in who we are and what we are building.

We are ALL Lesaka. Happy 4th Birthday, Lesaka.

Where you are, we are.

We are proud to welcome Xavier Marot to Lesaka as our Chief Marketing Officer.

Xavier is not new to Lesaka. He has already been part of the work behind our brand journey, helping shape the thinking that brought One Lesaka to life.

Now, he joins us at a time when that journey is moving from vision into build.

Our values are shaped by our people!

We captured how voices across our organisation came together to define what we stand for and how we show up every day.

From integrity and ownership to collective wisdom and bias to action, our values guide how we work - how we solve pain points for customers and merchants, and how to grow by making a substantial difference.

When people align around purpose, real happens.

Where you are, we are.

Where tech meets reach: The strategic logic of Lesaka’s Bank Zero deal

A win-win situation: Lesaka gets a banking licence, and Bank Zero gets to build scale.

South Africa’s first wave of digital challenger banks changed how we think about fees, branches and banking access. In a Financial Mail cover feature, Raymond Steyn explores Lesaka’s proposed Bank Zero deal and what happens when modern banking tech meets real distribution scale, and what this could mean for the future of fintech locally.
