HaFa
How far?
Money in the chat. Every payment is signed by the payer's phone and verified before it shows.
Open in HaFa Get HaFa on Google PlayChat with anyone, send money in your own currency as easily as a message, and book help nearby. Made in Africa, for Africans wherever they are. Private, end‑to‑end encrypted, and still talking when the network is gone.
* Screens from our review build. Money and people marked DEMO in them are simulated.
Your language, your currency, your way of saying hello. And when family is in London, Paris or Houston, it reaches them too.
Type any number and say hello. Groups, voice notes, stickers and HaFa's own alert sound, all sealed so only the people in the chat can read it.
Send, request or split a bill right inside the chat, in naira, shillings, rand, cedis or dirhams. No bank app, no copied account number. A gift arrives as money they can spend, not coins to convert.
Small businesses lose money to screenshots of transfers that never happened. A HaFa payment is signed by the payer's own phone, and the receipt carries a code anyone can check. It verifies, or it does not.
Agree the price, add your flat number and check the pin on the map. Follow the job step by step, with SOS one tap away. Your money is held until the work is done.
On a train between cities, at a packed concert, or anywhere the signal drops, Nearby finds other HaFa phones over Bluetooth. Messages pass between them sealed, hopping up to seven phones to reach someone further off.
Ajo, esusu, adashe, chama, stokvel. HaFa keeps the notebook: the pot, the round, who has paid and who collects next, with each contribution posted in the circle's own group chat.
Encrypted on your phone and decrypted on theirs, with the Signal protocol. Our server holds ciphertext it cannot open, and forgets it once delivered.
The chat history on your phone is encrypted too, and the app tells you plainly how far it trusts your device.
That two numbers exchanged something, and when. It is the cost of delivering to a phone that is off, and we would rather say so.
Free to download. Made in Africa, for Africans everywhere. On Android while we finish private testing, so builds are handed out directly for now.

Messaging
HaFa is a full messenger first: chats, groups, voice notes, stickers and calls, sealed so only the people in the conversation can read them.
Money
Pay the person you are already talking to. The payment shows up in the chat as a card you can both see.
Receipts
Fake transfer alerts cost traders money every day. A HaFa payment is proved by the phone that made it, not by a screenshot.
Services
Cooks, cleaners, plumbers, mechanics and more, found nearby and booked like any other conversation.
Nearby
When the data drops, HaFa phones find each other over Bluetooth and pass messages along, sealed, until they reach the person.
Savings
Ajo, esusu, adashe, chama, stokvel: HaFa keeps the notebook so the circle can keep its trust.
