Company Overview

HUB2 is a French fintech founded in 2019 by Ashley Gaüzère (Telecom 2004, ex-Orange Middle-East Africa), and joined in 2023 by co-founder Jean-Rémi Kouchakji (HEC 2013, ex-founder PayinTech). The company emerged in response to the lack of an inclusive and efficient banking system in Africa, where most transactions are conducted via mobile wallets developed by regional telecom operators,

HUB2 is building a payment infrastructure to facilitate the interoperability of payment methods across the region, including Mobile Money, bank cards, bank transfers. To date, HUB2 integrates over 30 mobile money and banking networks, including major operators such as Orange, MTN, Moov, and Wave, and operates in nine countries in West and Central Africa. Our clients range from neobanks, payment aggregators, international transfer operators, microcredit companies, to e-commerce businesses.

Currently, HUB2 processes €1 billion in annual transaction volumes across these nine countries. The company employs 40 people, across its four offices in Abidjan, Réunion, Paris and Mauritius. As a high-growth startup, HUB2 plans to continue this trajectory through 2025 and 2026 in West and Central Africa. Our ambition is to establish the leading payment platform across Francophone Africa.
