Why hand2cloud exists

Your digital life, back in one piece

Today, the pieces of your digital life are scattered. Your contacts live on your phone. Your conversations live in one app, your money in another, your customers somewhere else again. Every time you switch apps, change jobs, or cross a border, you leave part of your history behind.

  • One identity you own. Not rented from a platform — yours.
  • One home for your conversations and your commerce.
  • One clear record of every agreement and every payment.
  • Memory that stays with you for life.
The platform, at a glance

Six everyday capabilities, one name you own

Everything hand2cloud does starts from the same simple idea: it belongs to you.

A name of your own

When you join, you receive your own internet address — for example, yourname.ke.hand2cloud.com. It is yours to keep, it travels with you, it proves who you are, and no one — not even hand2cloud — can take it away. Businesses and institutions can add an officially verified legal identity too.

One simple way to buy, sell, and pay

Every transaction follows one clear journey: discover, agree, approve, complete. Tipping a musician, splitting a bill, buying as a group, trading across borders, or getting paid — the flow is the same, and every step leaves a clear, checkable record.

Relationships that are remembered

hand2cloud remembers what matters, privately. Your personal memory keeps your relationships organized. Organizations get a shared memory of their decisions. And with your permission, hand2cloud helps you notice early what is moving in your market.

Tools for running a business

Every organization gets a friendly control center covering the fundamentals of good marketing — product, price, place, promotion, people, proof, partnerships, measurement, passion, and purpose — with clear numbers, helpful checklists, and built-in safeguards.

Built for partners

Banks, mobile money operators, telecom providers, brands, schools, governments, software companies, and domain registrars can connect what they already do best to hand2cloud through open, standards-based paths — and grow together.

Works everywhere, for everyone

Built for real life: affordable smartphones, slow networks, and even basic phones. When your connection drops, the app keeps working and catches up later. Nobody is left behind because of their device, their data plan, or their address.

One journey for every transaction

Who hand2cloud is for

Built for the whole community

From a single student to a national bank — if you have a name, you have a home here.

Individuals and families

One identity, easy payments, and a private place to keep the people who matter close — with strong privacy built in by default.

Students, parents, and teachers

Safe, age-appropriate spaces for school life: class announcements, clubs, events, allowances and gifts with parental consent, and study support that respects student privacy.

Professionals

Keep the context of every relationship, get a helpful briefing before each call, and find warm introductions through people you both trust.

Creators and performers

Own your audience instead of renting it. Receive tips in the moment, welcome recurring supporters, and work with brands where attribution and payment are clear.

Merchants and business owners

Publish your catalog, welcome customers, answer support questions, and get paid — all under one verified name.

Suppliers and traders

Receive requests for quotes, answer with offers, win orders, and trade with confidence thanks to verification, protection, and clear records.

Brands and marketing teams

Turn awareness into measurable commerce. Work with creators, channels, and retail partners in one loop where every result can be seen and every dollar accounted for.

Operations and compliance teams

Keep institutional memory in one verifiable place — decisions, approvals, and audit trails that survive people moving on and stand up to scrutiny.

Banks, mobile money, and fintechs

Offer your customers a richer, verified experience on top of the accounts, wallets, and rails you already run — while you keep custody and ownership.

Telecom providers

Bring verified identity, messaging reach, and commerce to your subscribers — and turn everyday services into new value.

Governments

Deliver verified public services, payments, and community programs with clear records and strong privacy safeguards.

Schools and universities

Bring students, teachers, and parents together on a trusted, governed platform designed for education.

Cash agents and community finance

Keep your float balanced, your location visible, and your cash-in and cash-out simple — with OTP-confirmed transactions and nearby discovery built in.

Community savings groups

Digitize the savings circles your community already trusts — chama, esusu, arisan, equb, gam'eya, paluwagan, tandas, stokvel, likelemba, and their cousins — with your own rules, clear records, and everyone's consent.

Software partners and developers

Build on open standards and bring hand2cloud identity, community, and payments into the business systems people already use.

Built with respect

Technology should serve human dignity

That simple promise shapes every decision we make.

Privacy is a right, not a setting

Your conversations are private. We collect as little as possible, we never sell you out, and you can take your information with you whenever you wish, in an open format.

Your data stays home

Each market is served from data centers in or near it, operated under local law, so your information is never farther away than it needs to be.

Artificial intelligence, with human care

Where hand2cloud uses AI, it prepares and suggests — and people decide. Nothing important happens without a human in charge.

Culture feels at home

Festival gifting — red packets, Eidi and Eidiya, otoshidama, lì xì, and their cousins around the world — is native here. So are community savings circles, local languages, and the calendars that shape your year.

Inclusion is the architecture

Affordable phones, slow networks, basic phones, cash agents who bridge physical and digital money, and accessibility for every body and every age.

Clear rules, fairly applied

Where we moderate, we say how and why, and a human review is always within reach.

Simple pricing

Three rules. No surprises.

Fees charged by banks or payment networks are always shown separately, so you always know the full picture.

0.888%
US$100 to US$100,000

Transactions from US$100 to US$100,000 carry a simple 0.888% fee. One clear rate for growing businesses and bigger plans.

About hand2cloud

The operating system for a fairer digital economy

We build the identity, community, and commerce layer that lets people, businesses, institutions, and governments transact across borders with trust, clear records, and measurable results — while staying rooted in the rights and cultures of every market we serve.

The world does not need another chat app, another payment app, or another business tool. It needs one home: where your identity belongs to you, where every transaction is clear and traceable, where relationships are remembered, and where the same platform works beautifully on a flagship phone and a twenty-dollar one alike. That home did not exist. So we are building it.

What makes us different

Four decisions that shape everything we build

We chose names you own.

On most platforms, you rent a profile that can be changed, limited, or taken away. On hand2cloud, your name is yours — portable, verifiable, and permanent. Organizations that verify their legal identity carry that proof everywhere they go.

We chose open standards over walled gardens.

hand2cloud speaks the open languages of the internet and of global commerce, so connecting your existing systems is a matter of conformance, not captivity. Our technical documentation site carries the details for builders.

We chose clear records over vague promises.

Every transaction produces a record you can check. Every business step respects consent, approvals, and audit. The result is a system you can trust — and prove.

We chose the affordable phone.

hand2cloud runs comfortably on a twenty-dollar smartphone over a slow network. That is not a compromise; it is the strategy. It opens the door to roughly five billion devices and makes inclusion a fact of the product, not a line in a brochure.

Our roots

Built on how people actually connect

hand2cloud draws on decades of research into how people connect: how introductions travel through six degrees of separation, how influence flows through the people closest to us, how ideas tip into movements, and how communities remember together. We built these human patterns into the platform, with consent and care.

  • Six degrees of separation — introductions travel farther than you think.
  • Influence flows through the people closest to us.
  • Ideas tip into movements at recognizable moments.
  • Communities remember together — and now your platform can too.
Our promise on rights and responsibility

Dignity first, everywhere

Privacy and encryption by default

Protection is the starting point, never an upsell.

No manipulation, no dark patterns

We never design against your better judgment.

Human oversight wherever AI is involved

People decide. Always.

Accessible design for every age and ability

If it does not work for everyone, it does not work.

Governance that answers to real people

Treasury, risk, data protection, and platform safety — overseen by accountable humans.

We degrade features before we weaken protections

Where local law and these commitments ever tension, your safety wins.

Features and products

Five families of capability, one platform

Each can begin on its own and grow into the rest whenever you are ready.

1

Identity and Trust

A name you own, and a reputation you can see.

Sign up with your phone number and receive your own verified internet address in minutes. Your identity is yours for life: portable, verifiable, and never revocable by the platform. Businesses and institutions can verify their organization and its legal standing, and sign in with the accounts they already use.

Trust you can see. Every person and organization builds a living reputation — verified identity, transaction history, and endorsements from others — displayed as clear trust levels wherever you meet, chat, or trade.

Who this is for: everyone who wants an identity they truly own; professionals and businesses whose reputation is their livelihood; and institutions that need verification they can stand behind.
2

Commerce and Payments

One clear journey for every transaction.

Every purchase, payment, and settlement follows the same friendly flow: discover, agree, approve, complete. One flow for tipping a performer, buying together as a group, paying a supplier overseas, subscribing to a creator, or checking out at a shop — with a clear record at the end of every journey.

Local by design. hand2cloud connects to the payment methods your country already knows and trusts. Community savings circles, festival gifting, group buying, and cash-agent services are designed with local customs and local rules, market by market.

Nobody left offline. Request-to-pay from a chat or a QR code, cash in and cash out with trusted nearby agents, and basic-phone support keep everyone in the economy — whatever device or connection they have.

Simple pricing. Free under US$100. 0.888% up to US$100,000. Capped at US$888 above that. Network and partner fees are always disclosed separately.

Who this is for: heads of payments and treasury, marketplaces and merchants, cross-border traders and remittance communities, creators getting paid, and anyone tired of stitching together fragmented payment tools.
3

Memory and Insight

Your private memory, your organization's shared memory, and an ear to your market.

Personal memory. A private second brain for your relationships: notes, circles, reminders, and helpful briefings before every call — so no important detail is ever lost when people change roles or years pass by.

Organizational memory. A shared, verifiable record of your institution's decisions and agreements, so knowledge stays when people move on, and every choice can be traced back to who made it and why.

Market listening. With consent, and only from sources people have made available, hand2cloud helps you notice early signals in your market — opportunities and risks before they become headlines.

Yours to keep. Your memory and your data belong to you. You can export them at any time in an open, portable format.

Who this is for: professionals who live by their relationships; leaders who refuse to lose institutional knowledge; compliance and legal teams who value verifiable records; and sales and partnership teams who want warm introductions instead of cold calls.

Business Tools

The fundamentals of good marketing, in one friendly control center.

Every organization gets a dashboard built around the fundamentals that make marketing work — product, price, place, promotion, people, proof, partnerships, measurement, passion, and purpose. Each one shows where you stand, what to do next, and how your numbers are trending. Individuals and creators enjoy a lighter version of the same experience.

Safeguards built in. Consent, approvals, and clear records are woven into every step of your sales and marketing journey, so growing your business never means gambling with trust. The same discipline aligns naturally with the international quality, security, and privacy standards your auditors know.

Plays well with others. hand2cloud works alongside the customer-relationship and business systems you already use, so you can start where you are.

Fast answers. Ask questions of your business — campaigns, commerce, community, compliance — and get clear charts and numbers without slowing down your day-to-day operations.

Who this is for: marketing leaders running growth and brand in one loop; executives consolidating scattered tools; finance leaders who want measurable pipelines; and any organization that wants one source of truth for growth and governance.

For Partners and Builders

Open doors for banks, operators, brands, and developers.

hand2cloud is built to be connected. Partners can bring hand2cloud identity, community, and commerce into the products they already ship — banking apps, wallets, telecom services, business systems, vertical software, and the domain name world itself. Builders get open, standards-based ways to integrate, safe spaces to publish experiences, and AI assistance that always asks before it acts.

Our supplemental technical documentation site carries the full integration guides, references, and developer resources.

Who this is for: integration and product teams at banks, mobile money operators, telecom providers, software companies, and registrars; and developers who want to build on open standards with real reach.
