A 10MB Solution for Feature Phone Users

The wallet has seen impressive traction, surpassing 500,000 downloads globally. Its growth is particularly strong in Nigeria, Kenya, Tanzania, Bangladesh, and parts of Central America. These regions demonstrate a high demand for affordable and accessible fintech tools, presenting a significant opportunity for Sorted.
