Our Purpose
On average, over 800 million people from all over Africa spend money on goods and services each day, through business transactions with different sellers and service providers in different parts of the Continent. This, they do without a well defined, centralized system to provide them with relevant data to help them make informed decisions at the point-of-purchase. This leaves a gap and room for unethical practices that have become very common in the business place.
Abbain is leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to deliver innovative solutions needed to implement and advance a trustworthy marketplace for all of Africa and in the process, bridge the gap between sellers and buyers of goods, service providers and their clients, thereby, enhancing customer satisfaction throughout the African continent.
Abbain's platform is a Centralized Autonomous System (CAS) of accreditation of all individual sellers, SMEs and large enterprises operating in Africa. Centered on its core website and a mobile application, the system provides buyers with relevant data which helps them make informed decisions before paying for goods or services all over Africa.
Security
In addition to our ever growing portfolio, the company also operates a powerful e-commerce platform, Abbain, which enables third-party sellers from all over Africa to list and sell their products, new, refurbished or used items on a fixed-price to buyers from all over the world.
Abbain is powered by Abba Wallet, which uses Escrow Payment Protection to ensure that every seller on Abbain gets paid for goods sold to buyers and services provided to clients; and that every buyer receives the goods and services paid for through the Abbain, thereby, maintaining peace of mind in every business deal.
Government
Abbain is not affiliated with any government or governmental agency. Any business that becomes an accredited member of Abbain and adheres to its standards, does so through industry self-regulation. To avoid bias, Abbain's policy is to refrain from recommending or endorsing any specific business, product or service, even though they still advocate for business interests. Abbain is inspired by the U.S. based Better Business Bureau.
