About us

We're MiKashBoks. We bring a 1,000-year-old tradition online.

An estimated 400 million+ people regularly save and borrow through community groups and friends. Most of those groups still run offline and by hand — labour-intensive and unsafe. MiKashBoks is the digital social finance platform that makes group saving and lending easier and safer.

Why it matters

What bringing saving and lending groups online does.

Digitises group recordkeeping

Members manage and transact with their saving groups without paper ledgers or notebooks — the records keep themselves.

Opens access for the excluded

Members build a reputation and credit history, then connect to a marketplace of financial institutions — including access to external loans.

Built on trust

A community that saves and lends.

MiKashBoks is a people-first platform built on the saving and lending practices communities already use. We don't replace the trust and connection that make these groups work — we strengthen them, and give members a secure way to build credit and grow what they can do together.
