About

Moneco is a neobank targeting the migrant communities in Europe, starting with the African diaspora. We are making banking easier and more affordable for underserved communities, starting with a current account, a payment card and free remittances. The long term vision is to turn Moneco into a one-stop-shop where all of their financial needs will be addressed.

  • Shams RadjabalyFounder

    Born and raised in Madagascar, educated in France, lived in Singapore and the US, worked in Morocco, I thrive in an international setting. I have worked in the financial markets and in management consulting, and want to make the best use of my experiences to build an outstanding banking product for the African diaspora. Apart from that, I am passionate about food (both cooking and eating it !)

    My name is Bilal Dahlab, I have a multicultural background (Algeria, England, Italia) and grew up in a popular neighborhood in Geneva. I have a business profile with some knowledge in technology, gathered some experience in strategic consulting, finance, energy and blockchain. Today, my goal is to financially serve African communities in Europe, and then in Africa where we have bigger challenges! I spend most of my freetime with my friends, I like rap/hip-hop, football (soccer) and boxing.
