Ham Serunjogi is the CEO of Chipper Cash, a fintech company he co-founded in 2018. It’s a cross-border payment platform that allows users to send and receive money, pay bills, buy crypto and stocks, and get virtual cards, primarily serving users in Africa and the U.S. It’s grown dramatically since its launch, now reaching millions across seven African countries, plus the UK and U.S.
However, Serunjogi’s impact reaches beyond fintech. He’s been a voice for the African diaspora, since 2023 when he became an inaugural member of t US Advisory Council on African Diaspora Engagement, appointed by President Biden. In that capacity he has worked tirelessly to strengthen cultural, social, political, and economic ties between the United States and Africa.
In 2025, Serunjogi and Chipper Cash expanded the Chipper Cash Visa card program to over 100 million Africans, which has been invaluable to those seeking financial inclusion.
