Built Financial Technologies (UK) Ltd
Built Financial Technologies (UK) Ltd (Built) is a financial technology company headquartered operationally in Accra, Ghana. Founded in 2016, the company provides an all-in-one cloud business-management and bookkeeping platform for African small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), encompassing invoicing, point-of-sale and inventory management, accounting, budgeting, payroll, expense tracking, and payments. In 2026, Built launched "CFO AI", an AI-powered feature that automatically generates financial reports such as profit-and-loss, cash-flow, and balance-sheet statements in plain language. The platform also facilitates embedded financial services, working capital, asset financing, business credit, and virtual cards, through partnerships with licensed banks and mobile-money operators. Built is not itself a licensed bank; lending is delivered through its Thrive Microcredit subsidiary. The company operates across Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, and Sierra Leone.
