Miden

About

Miden is building a modern infrastructure that facilitates the launch of card programs and various financial products for businesses in Sub-Sahran Africa. Just by reducing integration time, card fraud, improving stability, and being customer focused we quickly rose to top 5 in TPV among card issuing Fintechs in Sub-Saharan Africa within 8 months of launch. We’re going to build the first comprehensive fintech and banking software stack for Africa, based on modern technology. We’re starting with a card issuer-processor.
