Across Ghana and many parts of Africa, individuals seek financial instruments tailored for daily use—tools that are dependable, swift, and easy to access. Whether facing escalating expenses or difficulties in obtaining funds sent by family members overseas, there is an increasing demand for straightforward and equitable alternatives than ever before.
For years, digital finance was supposed to simplify our lives. However, this convenience has mostly benefited individuals equipped with cutting-edge smartphones, substantial data packages, and connections to conventional banks. Consequently, countless others remain excluded because they use basic phones, outdated Android gadgets, or reside in regions characterized by sluggish web speeds and scarce financial services networks.
This is now starting to shift.
A fresh surge of innovation is making financial instruments more accessible — with an illustration being the Sorted Wallet, a compact cryptocurrency wallet tailored explicitly for developing regions such as Ghana. The aim is straightforward: to assist individuals in storing, transferring, and accepting stable digital currency like USDTâ« (essentially a digitized dollar known as a stablecoin), all without requiring a top-tier phone or swift web connection.
Each year, Ghanaians living abroad send more than $4.5 billion back home through remittances. However, numerous individuals continue to depend on sluggish and costly methods for retrieving this money. An overseas transaction might require several days to complete and often comes with charges ranging from 5% to 10%. Conversely, Sorted Wallet allows recipients to get their funds within seconds right onto their mobile devices via USDTâ« — an asset tied at a rate of one-to-one to the U.S. dollar.
However, velocity alone does not suffice; stability is equally important. Given Ghana’s cedi has faced significant inflation recently, many Ghanaians seek methods to safeguard their savings’ worth. Sorted Wallet provides an option for individuals to keep funds in USDTâ«, presenting a steadier and safer choice devoid of the necessity for a banking account.
What makes Sorted Wallet stand out is that it works even on the most basic of devices. It is available on KaiOS feature phones and older Android smartphones, which are common in rural areas and lower-income communities. The app is also the lightest crypto wallet available on the Google Play Store — under 12MB — making it affordable to download and use, even with limited data access. With support for several African languages, it is tailored for everyday users, not just the tech-savvy.
For individuals in cities like Tamale, Takoradi, or Kumasi — be they students, small business owners, or farmers — Sorted Wallet enables them to engage with the digital economy without having to purchase costly equipment or grasp intricate financial terminology.
To assist beginners, Sorted Wallet has launched a fresh in-app component named “Quests.” This transforms the introduction process into an engaging activity—users perform straightforward actions such as adding a contact or initiating a payment request and earn rewards for every completed step. It’s an interactive method designed to boost user confidence as they familiarize themselves with the wallet through practical engagement and accumulation of rewards.
Beyond the app, Sorted is investing in education on-the-ground too. Through its local ambassadors and partners, it runs community activations and learning campaigns across Africa. These street-level efforts are key to building trust, especially in places where scams and misinformation have made people cautious about crypto.
Regarding Sorted, this isn’t about generating buzz. Instead, it’s focused on developing tools designed specifically for those who require them urgently. Through enhancing digital financial services with inclusivity in mind, Sorted Wallet is transforming lives incrementally, through each gadget, individual user, and group at a time.
