We are RideFi

At RideFi, we’re on a mission to make commuting safer, cheaper, and easier for millions in Africa. More than a ride-sharing app, we’re a movement, helping people share rides, cut costs, and ease traffic.

🗂️ Our Story

The idea for RideFi was born from firsthand experiences navigating the challenges of commuting in some of Africa’s busiest cities. Frustrated by the high cost of transport, unpredictable schedules, long hours spent in traffic, and the lack of reliability in ride-sharing options, We knew there had to be a smarter way to solve these daily struggles faced by millions.

With a deep passion for building innovative solutions and a commitment to empowering people to take control of their daily commute, we set out to build RideFi, an innovative platform designed to make transportation more efficient, affordable, and secure.

At RideFi, we are driven by purpose, experience, and a vision to improve the lives of everyday commuters. While this journey started with a single idea, it continues to grow with the incredible team and community supporting it.
