Our Mission:
We are Powering Africa’s Forward Movement, and this is being actualized through our
transformative Mission: Making mobility safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable through the
deployment of high-performance technology and operators.
We are building the largest vehicle financing and financial services platform for commercial drivers
and transport operators across Africa. Our proprietary technology is enabling Drivers with no
banking history to access low to zero emission vehicles, insurance, digital wallets and eHailing
services on a subscription basis. From 2019 to 2020, we scaled from 200 to more than 10,000 drivers
and have raised more than $70m to achieve our mission. Our goal is to serve 14million commercial
drivers across Africa's $250B mobility industry. In the short term, we are scaling our impact to
100,000 drivers across 10 cities in 3 countries.
Our Values:
In everything we do, we uphold these 5 values without compromise;
✔ Transparency: We’re taking everyone along for the ride.

✔ Initiative: We prioritize ingenious ideas and nurture them which has brought us this far and
we’re not stopping now.
✔ Partnership: We always keep the welcome mat rolled out on MAX Land; everyone is

✔ Safety: Safety to us at MAX means taking all road safety precautions, telling others about
safety so that mobility is safe and comfortable for all.
Our Impact:
✔ Financial Inclusion: We fill a critical funding gap for informal operators in Africa by
arranging credit to drivers and micro-entrepreneurs who have few credible options.
✔ Economic Empowerment: We have onboarded +15000 drivers onto our platform with
thousands more in the pipeline in a bid to fulfil the transportation needs in Africa.
✔ Sustainable Job Creation: We are creating direct and indirect jobs through
income-generating assets, technology, and continuous skill development training.
