THE PLATFORM

One app. Every financial service.

From everyday spending to long-term saving, Nova brings the things you actually use a bank for into one app you can carry in your pocket.

Digital banking

Accounts, cards, transfers and multi-currency wallets, built mobile-first for people who have grown up on their phone.

Identity and KYC

Open an account from your phone in minutes. Biometric onboarding and document verification that work for customers and satisfy the regulator.

Payments and remittance

Send money at home or across borders. Domestic rails, regional corridors and international transfers on a single, traceable layer.

Islamic finance

Sharia-compliant accounts, financing and savings, built in from day one and reviewed by an independent Sharia board.

AI FinIntelligence

Personal insights, smart spending tips and assistance that actually helps. We use AI to make banking simpler, not louder.

Fraud and risk

Real-time monitoring and clear, explainable decisions. We try to stop fraud before it happens and tell you why when we step in.

Islamic finance & credit

Sharia-compliant financing for individuals and businesses: Murabaha, Ijara, Musharaka, Mudaraba and interest-free Qard Hassan, all reviewed by an independent Sharia Supervisory Board.

Cards and wallets

Physical and virtual cards, instant freeze, spend controls, and a wallet that works for shopping at home and travelling abroad.

For business

From sole traders to growing SMEs. Business accounts, payroll, invoicing and merchant payments, designed for the way work actually happens here.

WHERE WE'RE LAUNCHING

Built for three continents.

We're designing Nova for the financial realities of Africa, the Middle East and Europe. Multi-currency, bilingual, and ready for the regulators in each market.

🌍

Africa

Modern digital banking for markets that have been underserved for too long. Local rails, local language, local trust.

🌙

Middle East

Bilingual and RTL from day one. Sharia-compliant options sit alongside conventional banking, so customers choose how they want to bank.

Europe

EU data residency, GDPR by default, and the connections to move money cleanly between the three regions we serve.

WHY NOVA

Not just a bank. FinIntelligence.

A new generation of digital bank, where intelligence sits behind every interaction. Not a chatbot bolted on the side, but AI shaping how the whole product works.
