Flesh

Inspired by a future where you won’t need a gadget/card to pay in stores or on the street, with Flesh, we connect and build a community into a market.

We are going to Vegas!
#Flesh is one of the 10 #fintech startups to participate and tell our story at @PAY_Symposium. The future is exciting. #PaaP #flesh #fleshpay #fleshpass #fleshmarket #payments #mobilecommerce #fintech #communitymarkets #Africanstartup #futureofpayments

Aw snap!

[Reginald Lepholisa @DrLepholisa]

Well, it's tough I guess. Let's wait for Brazilian PIX then.

The lights are going out all over startups. We won't not see them lit again for awhile https://t.co/nVIn7juLFe

I told them that it's not about the payments themselves, but what they can enable in a typical customer routine, perhaps in a day. #Fintechs #payments #startups #investors #banking #mobilepayments #mobilefirst #PaaP #fleshpay #fleshpass #banks #fintech https://t.co/XTXWHzc45F

It has been time since our last update in development. But we have been down to work. We hope to count down time soon.

Just getting ready for #Pay Conference #flesh #fleshpass

[Flesh @fleshpass]

We are humbled and working harder to tell the world our experiences, what drives us, why descent financial services will become a basic utility for millions in Africa through Flesh. #PaaP #flesh #fleshpay #fleshpass #payments #fintech #communitymarkets #futureofpayments

[Reginald Lepholisa @DrLepholisa]

Really, are banks terrified of mobile payments in the US?
But they don't have to be, just need to move faster and acknowledge the inevitable, we are bringing something better through #Flesh and #Fleshweb. #payments #fintech #banking #mobilefirst

Again, in Africa, we will seek every opportunity to build than disrupt. But ruthless in face of resistance to advance. Be it in #transpotarion #banking #payments #retail or #communitymarkets. We need full #wingstofly. #Flesh is driving Payments as a Platform #PaaP.

[Flesh @fleshpass]

In Africa , there are much more opportunities to #Buildthandisrupt. We will leave disruption to the smarties. We are building #Flesh as an African #PaaP. This gives us #Wingstofly.

[Flesh @fleshpass]

The future of user payments is not in a gadget. It's in human interaction, it's in #Flesh. We are building #Fleshpass.

[Reginald Lepholisa @DrLepholisa]

I have opened a Pre-seed round to build the first MVP of Flesh and initiate Banking & Telcos API integrations

#Whyflesh? Someone said, knowledge is knowing that tomato is a fruit, but wisdom is not using it to make a 'fruit' salad. You get the picture.
Unless you are in China and you suddenly have to enjoy sweet tasting pork.... Anyway 在中国他们说：入乡随俗! #Fleshweb

Building local solutions for local problems.
An aquaponics farmer in Brooklyn NY and a trout farmer in Lesotho highlands have the same end goal. But the task and problems of getting there are quite the opposite. #Fleshweb #Communitymarkets

[Flesh @fleshpass]

@pooja_mittal783 We noted. Thanks.

[Flesh @fleshpass]

... this is why #Flesh would mean a different thing depending on who has it, especially in Africa.
It would mean something else to:
A farmer | A community organiser | A street vendor | A retailer | A Restaurant | A beauty Salon | A village shop and you. A community. #Fleshweb.

[Flesh @fleshpass]

Look, if we thought paying without a gadget but yourself was impossible, we would be in disregard of why #Africa leads with #mobilemoney. We went ahead with mobile phones because we were unprofitable to get telco's fixed lines. Here we are with ATMs. #fleshweb

[Flesh @fleshpass]

But get this...
We are not keen to make a "wallet". Doing simply that is why everybody is still using cash in an exclusive ecosystem. We are more excited to connect a community, in a deep meaningful manner. Build a market around that, then we can provide a useful digital pathway.
