Pavelon is facilitating the Affordable Smartphone Ownership for low and middle-income consumers in emerging markets.
Sub-Saharan Africa is home to the majority of the world’s poor people. Consumer research shows how the cost of an internet-enabled handset is a critical barrier to using mobile internet for low and middle-income consumers in emerging markets.
Smartphone adoption continues to see rapid growth in Sub-Saharan Africa, albeit from a relatively low base and despite affordability challenges. According to the GSMA, The total number of smartphone connections stood at 250 million at the end of 2017, equivalent to a third of the total connections base. This means that, as at 2018, over 800 million people living in sub-Saharan Africa do not have smartphones.
The Smartphone has the potential to be a great equalizing force, providing new opportunities and leveling the playing field through unprecedented access to information. But this potential will only be realized if no one is left behind.
Our mission is to Make Smartphones Affordable and Accessible for Everyone.
Through partnerships with key stakeholders in the Smartphone Value Chain and innovative technology, Pavelon is removing the barriers to Smartphone Ownership for low-income earners in Africa.
Pavelon Device Finance will allow users to apply for any phone of their choice, get approved and get the device of their dreams. Users will then pay monthly via mobile money or bank transfers until the device is fully paid for. Our service features smartphone insurance, remote tech support, and smartphone anti-theft technology.
Big challenges require big minds. Make an impact from anywhere.
We're interested in the rising stars with a worldly perspective, a deep interest in mobile technology, and an appetite for growth.
