Ejara 소개
Ejara is a Cameroonian crypto savings and investment app founded in 2019 for Francophone Africa and its diaspora. It addresses thin banking coverage and the need to preserve value against franc depreciation: users start from 1,000 CFA francs through mobile money such as Orange Money and buy BTC, ETH or USDT, with crypto held in a non-custodial wallet whose 12-word key only the user controls; savings plans are backed by investments in CEMAC and UEMOA money markets, accrue daily and pay about 5% a year; cross-border payments run over stablecoins and the Lightning Network to more than 50 countries.
Its position is the gateway between mobile money and on-chain assets, with more emphasis on savings and small-ticket investing than on cash-out networks such as Yellow Card. Compliance rests on COSUMAF and French AMF registrations, its service area covers a dozen Francophone African countries, and the interface and support are French-first.
On January 8, 2026, Ejara founder Nelly Chatue-Diop passed away; in February, co-founder and former COO Tierno Tall became Chief Executive Officer (CEO), ensuring team and business continuity. The Ejara platform holds a license from France's AMF and continues to offer crypto savings, investing and wallet services to French-speaking African users.
The compliance and localization foundation Ejara built in 2025 carried into 2026, with the team maintaining business stability after the leadership transition.
Under the French AMF license, Ejara will continue serving French-speaking African users, expand crypto savings and investing products, and strengthen mobile wallet and local-payment experience.
