Founder & CEO of Colow-so

Sidy Kouyaté thinks the cost of money transfers are very high in the world especially to Africa. Sending Money Africa should be easier and less expensive for immigrants who share their salary with their parents and relatives. Sidy finds that immigrants are making great efforts to help their parents in Africa and the money transfer should be easier to make, simpler and cheaper for them to get a good exchange rate with less cost.

Expert in Business Intelligence, Sidy graduated in France SUPINFO Paris and has many years of experience in IT.

In his opinion, technology has reached a certain maturity that we can not afford to raise costs and lower money transfer exchange rates in the world. In 2015 he decided to create Colow-so, using his own experiences to meet the needs of immigrants.
