<p>Moniepoint Group has been ranked one of Africa’s fastest-growing fintech companies three years in a row by the Financial Times. Backed by Visa and Google’s Africa Investment Fund in our $110 million Series C, we’re building transformative financial products that solve real problems, starting with underserved communities across Africa and the diaspora. Our growth isn’t just fast, it’s meaningful, creating real impact for tens of millions of people who have been left out of the financial system.</p>
<p>As part of this expansion, we’ve launched Monieworld. MonieWorld is a subsidiary of Moniepoint Inc. Our goal is to enable financial happiness for every African, everywhere, and this is day one.

<p>The role will work cross-functionally with Compliance, FinCrime, Product, and Operations teams to document end-to-end processes, map manual and automated controls, structure internal training governance, and support ongoing automation projects through rigorous documentation and vendor assessment support.</p>
