One ecosystem
Six ways Pula lifts you up
💳 Pula Wallet
Money made simple — for you
- 100% FREE for students — no monthly fees
- Top up your Pula Wallet by card and spend across Jobs, Market & Properties
- Sending money to family across borders — coming soon, once fully licensed
- No overdrafts, no debt traps — only spend what you have
Safety: we never ask for your PIN, password, or code via message or call — keep them private.
Coming soon: withdrawing to a local bank account or mobile-money wallet, and cross-border cash pick-up — through fully licensed, regulated partners once our UK FCA and Southern African approvals are in place. Not live yet. Today Pula Wallet is closed-loop (money moves only inside Pula).
Pula Family Circle · Coming soon
Support family back home — together
A shared pocket where relatives abroad can pool together to support a family member at home. We're building this the right way — it goes live once we're fully licensed.
- One shared pot — invite relatives with a simple code
- Set an automatic monthly top-up and forget the hassle
- The family member back home receives support into their Pula Wallet
- A monthly summary keeps everyone in the loop and builds trust
Honest update: money-pooling features are not live yet. We're completing the required licences (UK FCA & Southern African approvals) first, so it launches safe and compliant.
