Our story
Built by the diaspora, for the diaspora
HIROLA was founded by immigrants who experienced firsthand how broken, expensive, and slow international money transfers could be. We built the service we wished had existed.

Our mission
Every year, millions of families across Africa depend on money sent home by loved ones working abroad. Yet the systems designed to move that money are often slow, opaque, and costly — eating into the funds families need most.
HIROLA exists to change that. We combine modern financial technology with deep community knowledge to deliver fast, affordable, and transparent transfers to Kenya, Ethiopia, Uganda, Tanzania, Ghana, Nigeria, and beyond.

Transparency
