The company’s solution tackles the issue of spare change in cash-dependent economies, providing a card and digital wallet that enables merchants to refund their customers’ spare change.
With Koree’s product, merchants can also launch loyalty programs that offer cashback rewards to their customers.
Another plan for this investment is to enable consumers to earn cash when they shop on the Koree app, across 14 different categories like bakeries, supermarkets, fast food, movies, pharmacies, etc.
