The Opportunity

Problem

Business owners in rural Benin experience unreliable internet connectivity that disrupts critical mobile money transactions and digital banking services.

Solution

MoQueue is a progressive web app (PWA) that allows rural business owners to record and queue mobile money transactions locally on their phones even without internet. When connectivity returns, it automatically syncs with popular services like MTN MoMo and Flooz via secure APIs. Transactions are encrypted and batched for reliability, ensuring no lost sales during outages.
