MapleRad aims to provide financial institutions in Africa with a platform to offer digital financial services to their customers, including loans, savings accounts, and insurance products. The funding will be used to expand the platform's offerings and support its growth in the region. This is an example of the growing trend of BaaS, as financial institutions look to leverage technology to provide more efficient and accessible financial services to their customers.
