What NEXUS does
Infrastructure for the economy that already exists.
Mukando
Digital stokvelCommunity savings governance. The stokvel still runs the stokvel. NEXUS handles the plumbing — contributions, payouts, cross-border members.
LiveCommunity Governance
Trust Score · Motions · ConstitutionEvery group earns a Trust Score built from six signals: contribution consistency, governance participation, obligation completion, financial discipline, member retention, and platform engagement. Motions, votes, and the community constitution are recorded on-ledger as tamper-evident compliance evidence.
LiveTreasury Engine
Capital Allocation · Filter · Score · RankCommunity Trust Score unlocks the Treasury marketplace. A filter-score-rank engine matches each group's declared objective, risk tolerance, and liquidity need against available products — with full explainability on why each product ranked where it did.
SimulatingDiaspora Funeral Cover
Multi-insurer · Underwritten by licensed insurersOne application, multiple insurer bids. Every offer is shown as the insurer issued it, in the order received — NEXUS does not rank, score or recommend. You choose one; the rest are declined.
LiveCross-border payments
PAPSS + 12 railsZAR, USD, ZWL, MZN. Wallet-to-wallet transfers work today between NEXUS accounts in the same currency. Delivery out to mobile money and bank accounts — Paystack, M-Pesa, MTN MoMo, PAPSS, Thunes — is built and awaiting licensing before it is switched on.
Partly liveSchool Fees Smoothing
Income AI · South Africa · EducationThe SA term calendar is hardcoded. NEXUS computes exactly what percentage of each inbound payment to divert so the full fee is ready before term starts. If you're already funded, the rate drops to zero automatically.
LiveCommunity Bonds
Direct SMME financeA Zimbabwean farmer issues a bond. Investors across Southern Africa subscribe with R500 and a NEXUS account. No broker. No minimum.
LiveMerchant Intelligence
AI insightsPeak trading hours, best customers, most profitable products — the analytical advantage formal retail takes for granted, now for a spaza shop.
LiveUSSD channel
Feature phone accessDesigned: the full NEXUS menu on any handset, no smartphone or data required. Not available — no USSD shortcode has been provisioned with a network, and the channel stays switched off until one is.
Not availableIncome Smoothing
Gig worker financeIrregular income made predictable. AI smoothing across gig, trade, and informal income streams.
LiveGroup Investment
African + global marketsZimbabwe, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Uganda, Tanzania. Community mandates, monthly contributions, modelled projections. No capital is placed with a counterparty — the products are simulated pending licensing.
SimulatingMicroPension
Gig Workers · Auto-Deduction · Pension2% of each inbound payment diverts to a ring-fenced pension balance before the rest reaches your wallet — that rate is set for you, not chosen by you, and you can change it to anything from 0 to 5% or switch it off entirely. The money moves before it can be spent.
LiveHealthVault
Predictive AI · Health · Auto-DeductionAnalyses claim history to compute a risk score and recommended monthly savings rate. Deducts automatically on every inbound credit. Shows coverage ratio: critical / low / building / ready.
LiveBehavioral Credit Scoring
Credit · Behavioral AI · SADCFive signals from real transaction behaviour — consistency, savings discipline, deposit regularity, community trust, identity. Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum. Computed from what you actually did, not what a bureau says about you.
LiveAdvance Pre-Approval
Credit · Auto-Repayment · Gig WorkersDesigned: a pre-approved advance against your NEXUS credit score, repaid automatically from your next inbound payment. Not available — credit provision requires National Credit Act registration, and it stays switched off until that is resolved.
Not availableDiaspora Repatriation
Cross-border · PAPSS · OnafriqRecurring cross-border remittance on a schedule. Choose the day, the amount, the rail. NEXUS fires the transfer automatically every month. SMS confirmation. No manual action after setup.
Partly liveSARS eFiling
Tax · South Africa · Gig WorkersPulls your actual inbound income from your wallet — the right direction, the right SA fiscal year. Applies your pension balance as an RA deduction. Pre-populates the return. One submission. Idempotent.
LiveRegulatory Vault
Compliance · KYC · AMLKYC certificates, tax submissions, bond certificates, credit history, remittance records — pulled from five sources and assembled in one structured response. Deterministic reference number. Ready for a bank, a regulator, or a landlord.
LiveRoster
Informal Employer · PayrollPay domestic workers, farm labour, and site workers directly from your wallet. Each payment auto-activates the worker's MicroPension, logs their income pattern, and builds their credit score — all in one transaction. The employer becomes the payroll system for the informal economy.
LiveGlobal Financial OS. Multi-currency wallets across 54 African currencies, GBP, EUR, USD, CAD, AUD, AED, SAR, SGD, JPY, INR, and more — every major global currency. Merchant POS with AI insights. Behavioral credit scoring on a 300–850 scale. Pension, health, and school fee auto-deduction on every inbound credit, at a rate you set. Community bonds marketplace. Diaspora remittance scheduler. Multi-insurer funeral cover marketplace — one application, competing insurer bids, presented unranked. Roster payroll for informal employers. Community Treasury Engine with Trust Score-gated capital allocation. SARS eFiling with correct SA fiscal year and RA deduction. Regulatory Vault for audit and compliance. USSD on any phone, once a shortcode is provisioned. 19 financial products, each labelled above with whether it is live, simulated, or not yet available — a cash advance is designed and switched off pending National Credit Act registration.
The economy that built its own institutions
South Africa's stokvel industry moves R50 billion per year through 11 million participants — without a regulator, a registered entity, or a minimum capital requirement. The burial society has served communities for generations without actuaries. The informal remittance chain is faster and more reliable than the formal alternative.
These are not gaps. They are institutions built by people who made a rational assessment and found the formal system wanting. NEXUS does not improve what they built. It gives what they built infrastructure — the ability to operate across borders, to persist when members move, to run on a phone rather than a kitchen table.
The community still governs the stokvel. The infrastructure handles the plumbing.
