The E-GATE Project

Our DigitalEcosystem

E-GATE CONGO is building a national Digital Payment Ecosystem to transform how Congolese citizens access and use money.

Through USSD-based mobile access, secure wallets, and public-private integration, this ecosystem bridges rural and urban populations into the formal digital economy. It is a holistic, inclusive, and interoperable financial infrastructure that touches every part of the economic chain — from individuals and SMEs to government systems.
