About Us

Pursuing their dreams in tech, business, and banking, three Nigerians: Tunde, Toni, and Bolu moved to the US with a plan to build a better life for themselves and they did. After rising to top positions in global firms, they realized they wanted to do more.

On a BART ride one evening, they started discussing the stark differences between the realities of their lives in the US and their counterparts in Nigeria. There and then, they saw the difference was technology, and the 3 friends decided they were going to use tech to better the lives of Africans everywhere.

That is how Dole was born.

Dole was designed as a multifunctional fintech platform created to solve everyday needs by making transactions easier. Today, it is a friendly way to send, receive and request money.

With a continuously growing bouquet of features, it is an app that everyone ought to have.
