Lamine Tall: Innovating Financial Services for Africa and its Diaspora

Cauri Money offers a digital banking platform that enables African expatriates to manage their finances, including remittances, banking, and investment operations, all in one place. 

Tall’s educational background includes a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology from SKEMA Business School in France, a Master’s degree in Business Information Technology from Virginia Tech in the United States, and a Master’s degree in Strategy from EDHEC Business School in France.

Before founding Cauri Money, he gained experience in the financial services and fintech industries, working as a Junior Associate at CGI Business Consulting in 2016, a Senior Consultant in Digital Enterprise Transformation at EY in 2018, and a Senior Consultant in Financial Services & Fintech at Deloitte in 2019.

 

In 2019, Tall co-founded Cauri Money to address a pressing issue: the financial hurdles faced by African expatriates in managing their finances and supporting families back home.

Recognizing that traditional banking and money transfer systems often lack efficiency, affordability, and accessibility for the African diaspora, Cauri Money provides a one-stop digital banking solution.

The platform offers remittance services, enabling low-cost, seamless international money transfers and investment opportunities, allowing users to contribute to Africa’s growing economies.

In addition to his role at Cauri Money, Tall co-founded Samaritanz Technologies in 2017.

 

The company develops a social network to facilitate the collection and redistribution of food donations by non-governmental organizations. 

Tall is more than a fintech entrepreneur; he is a visionary leader addressing one of Africa’s most persistent challenges—financial inclusion for the diaspora and underserved communities.

 

His work at Cauri Money represents a critical step in bridging economic disparities, fostering wealth creation, and redefining how Africa engages with the global financial system.
