Senegalese fintech company KaliSpot has announced the launch of its smart ATMs in the capital city, Dakar. This move is part of the company's strategy to simplify access to financial services.
What is KaliSpot and 1Net
KaliSpot is a Senegalese fintech company founded in the United States, aiming to rethink the distribution infrastructure of financial services in West and Central Africa. The 1Net solution unites banks, mobile money providers, and fintechs into a flexible network of interconnected smart terminals.
Technology of Smart Terminals
The 1Net smart ATMs operate on proprietary technology that combines shared infrastructure, conversational AI in local languages, and biometric verification. These kiosks ensure ease of use and maximum inclusivity, addressing the limitations of traditional services during peak hours in urban areas and rural locations.
Partnerships and Expansion Plans
KaliSpot has signed its first partnership with Congo-based Solarix, covering both the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Congo. This collaboration aims to create sustainable and interoperable infrastructure solutions and plans to expand operations in Senegal by 2025 and into neighboring countries.
The launch of KaliSpot's smart ATMs in Dakar could mark a significant step toward improving access to financial services for a wide audience and transforming the region's financial ecosystem.
