Bento

Bento celebrates African businesses and business builders, and believes they have the power to change the continent. By creating innovative solutions, we empower these unsung heroes with the tools they need to succeed. Our solutions are not simply copied from developed markets and then forced on our local businesses in a “take it or leave it” approach. African businesses deserve better, so we pay attention to the unique business environment on the continent and develop tailored solutions that solve the real problems these businesses face on a daily basis. Building a business is an extremely challenging journey anywhere, but even more so in our part of the world. This is why at Bento, we will always be in beta, not just looking for how to improve our core solutions, but also to continue creating new solutions that adapt to an ever-changing business environment and the new complexities that come with it. Beyond empowering African businesses by equipping them with world-class payroll and HRM solutions, Bento is also redefining employee benefits. We call it employee benefits 2.0, and it empowers African employees in a way never seen before, opening them up to a world of innovative products and services including credit solutions, insurance, savings, investments and more, all of which boosts morale and improves their overall quality of life. A win-win for both employer and employee. It’s our way of building a better continent. One business at a time.
