## About

Founded in 2015 and based in Cape Town, South Africa, Jumo World Limited is a technology company that offers financial services infrastructure to third parties. Andrew Watkins-Ball is the founder and CEO of the firm. In December 2025, Jumo World Limited raised USD 7.5 million in venture debt funding from BlueOrchard Finance.

The company has built a smart financial services platform to make finance accessible to everyone. Jumo’s platform enables its partners to offer loans, savings, and financial choices to a new group of customers. The platform provides a full range of infrastructure and services that banks need in order to operate, from core banking to underwriting, KYC (know your customer), and fraud detection services. The lending products on the firm's platform give people and businesses quick access to funds and also build and operate savings products that bear interest.

Jumo World Limited plans to use the December 2025 funding  to support its asset-backed securitization structure in Uganda and expand lending services that give underprivileged people and small business owners better access to financing.
