Awud Technologies is a forward-thinking fintech company at the forefront of revolutionizing financial technology in Ethiopia. By integrating traditional practices like Equbs with innovative, modern financial solutions, Awud is making financial services more accessible, personalized, and inclusive for all Ethiopians.
Our mission is to empower individuals, families, and businesses to achieve financial stability and pursue their dreams. With user-friendly tools and culturally aligned solutions, we aim to foster a financially literate and resilient generation.
Awud was founded by a group of young entrepreneurs who recognized a critical issue faced by the youth in Ethiopia—difficulty saving money, investing in their dreams, and breaking free from financial constraints.
These visionaries saw an opportunity to bridge the gap by blending Ethiopia’s rich tradition of communal financial practices with digital tools. With a commitment to solving generational challenges, they built Awud as a platform to enable people to take control of their finances, achieve their dreams, and escape the financial crisis cycle that has persisted for decades.
Awud is more than just a fintech solution; it’s a movement to restore hope, inspire ambition, and redefine the future of financial stability in Ethiopia.
From its humble beginnings, Awud Technologies has grown into a vibrant startup with a passionate team of over 10 talented programmers and 4 dedicated staff members. Together, we are working tirelessly to provide seamless, innovative, and secure financial services to our users.
Our app, launched in November 2024, already serves as a platform for Equbs, savings, and financial empowerment. Awud is rapidly expanding, with plans to introduce new features like integrated online shopping, financial insights, and user-level gamification to make the experience even more engaging.
At Awud, our primary goal is to help our users believe in their dreams again. We are committed to breaking barriers, offering solutions tailored to your needs, and fostering a culture of trust, collaboration, and financial freedom.
