Legal Assistant - Zuberi Pay

Zuberi Pay is an on-demand mobile employee benefits program. An interest free mobile alternative to digital loans for employees. Salaried employees have the opportunity to access their salary on a daily basis rather than wait for the month end. The platform is available to contracted companies who value their employees and want to increase wellbeing within the workplace.

Zuberi is currently in private beta (testing the product privately before launching it to the public). We’re on a mission to increase financial wellness in Africa and provide an alternative to traditional micro-credit loans which we believe have a high chance of putting people in a cycle of debt. The way we fulfil our mission is simple – OUR PEOPLE. We’re building a culture of excellence, honesty and a drive to see other people happy.

Join us on our journey to deliver an innovative pay experience and to empower Africa’s workforce with the ability to truly harness the power of their pay and take control of their financial lives.
