Diaspora banking for Americans, Caribbeans, and Africans — one account woven across every shore we call home. Send and receive almost anywhere in the world, and never pay a monthly fee for the privilege.
You're woven in. When your corridor opens, you'll be the first to know.
In development. No accounts are being opened yet — the list is how you hold your place.
The Account
Dollars in America, Sand Dollar in The Bahamas, and local currencies across the Caribbean and Africa as corridors open — one app, one balance view, no juggling banks across an ocean.
Money in and out between America, the Caribbean, and Africa — and 100+ countries beyond — through licensed partner rails: bank deposit, mobile money, or cash pickup. Everywhere except sanctioned jurisdictions.
No monthly fee, no minimum balance, no maintenance charges. Kente earns from card interchange and a small, honest currency margin — not from taxing its own people.
The Map
America ↔ Caribbean ↔ Africa
It opens where its builders already run: Atlanta ↔ Nassau — Bahamians in Georgia supporting family, business, and home. Freight made that road; now money travels it. From there the weave widens — Kingston, Port-au-Prince, Lagos, Accra, Nairobi — until the whole diaspora moves as one cloth.
The Road In
Phase One
The community gathers first — Americans, Caribbeans, and Africans across the diaspora who are done overpaying to reach their own money.
Phase Two
Accounts and wallets open through licensed banking and payment partners — the licence is theirs, the experience is Kente's.
Phase Three
Kente's own product tested under the Central Bank of The Bahamas' regulatory sandbox, on Sand Dollar rails.
Phase Four
Money transmission, then electronic money — until the day the house holds its own charter and answers to no partner.
Hold Your Place
One email when your corridor opens. Nothing else, ever.
