Our Story
RiderPal was born from a simple observation: ride-hailing drivers in Kenya were struggling to manage their finances effectively. Despite working hard and driving thousands of kilometers, many drivers found it difficult to track expenses, plan for the future, or save for emergencies.
As former ride-hailing drivers and financial professionals, our founders experienced these challenges firsthand. They saw fellow drivers working 12-hour days but still struggling to make ends meet, not because they weren't earning enough, but because they lacked the right tools and knowledge to manage their finances effectively.
Today, RiderPal serves over 10,000 drivers across all 47 counties in Kenya, helping them track over KSh 50 million in savings and empowering them to build sustainable, profitable ride-hailing businesses.
