In Ghana and across much of Africa, people are looking for financial tools that work in their everyday lives — tools that are reliable, fast, and accessible. From rising costs of living to challenges with receiving money from loved ones abroad, the need for simpler, fairer solutions has never been greater.
For years, digital finance has promised to make life easier. But for many, that promise has only reached those with the newest smartphones, large data plans, and access to traditional banking. This has left out millions who still rely on feature phones, older Android devices, or live in areas with slow internet and limited financial infrastructure.
Now, that is beginning to change.
A new wave of innovation is making financial tools more inclusive — and one example is Sorted Wallet, a lightweight crypto wallet designed specifically for emerging markets like Ghana. Its mission is simple: to help people store, send, and receive stable digital money like USD? (a digital dollar, also called a stablecoin) without needing a high-end smartphone or fast internet.
Ghanaians receive over $4.5 billion in remittances annually from the diaspora. Yet many still rely on slow, expensive services to access these funds. A single international transfer can take days and cost between 5% to 10% in fees. In contrast, Sorted Wallet enables users to receive funds in seconds, directly to their phones, using USD? — which is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar.
But speed is not the only thing that matters. Stability is crucial too. With the cedi experiencing high inflation in recent years, more Ghanaians are exploring ways to preserve the value of their savings. Sorted Wallet allows users to hold their money in USD?, offering a more stable and secure alternative without needing a bank account.
What makes Sorted Wallet stand out is that it works even on the most basic of devices. It is available on KaiOS feature phones and older Android smartphones, which are common in rural areas and lower-income communities. The app is also the lightest crypto wallet available on the Google Play Store — under 12MB — making it affordable to download and use, even with limited data access. With support for several African languages, it is tailored for everyday users, not just the tech-savvy.
For someone in Tamale, Takoradi, or Kumasi — whether a student, small business owner, or farmer — Sorted Wallet makes it possible to participate in the digital economy without needing to invest in expensive devices or understand complex financial jargon.
To help users get started, Sorted Wallet has recently introduced a new in-app feature called “Quests.” This turns onboarding into an interactive experience — users complete simple tasks like adding a contact or requesting a payment, and receive rewards for each task. It is a hands-on, confidence-building way to explore the wallet while earning along the way.
Beyond the app, Sorted is investing in education on-the-ground too. Through its local ambassadors and partners, it runs community activations and learning campaigns across Africa. These street-level efforts are key to building trust, especially in places where scams and misinformation have made people cautious about crypto.
For Sorted, this is not about hype. It is about building tools that work for the people who need them most. By making digital finance more inclusive, Sorted Wallet is changing lives, one device, one user, and one community at a time.
