Rebuilding trust in the African labor market. One job at a time.

We believe that skilled work deserves guaranteed pay, and that hiring a professional should not require a leap of faith. Wrklo is the digital infrastructure making that a reality.

The way it was.

The informal sector has historically been driven by blind trust. Artisans travel miles to quote jobs they never get. Customers pay upfront deposits to workers who disappear. No accountability. No security. Just friction.

The way it is now.

So we hold the money until the work is done, check who people really are before they can take a job, and look for someone close to you. Less worry when you hire, less risk when you work.

Built on absolute principles.

Fair to both sides

Do the work properly and you get paid. Leave it unfinished and the customer gets their money back. The same rules apply to everyone.

Someone close by

We look for professionals near you, so the person you hire is not stuck in traffic on the other side of the city.

One account, both ways

Hire a plumber today and offer your own carpentry work tomorrow. Same account, same verified identity.

Led by builders.

We are engineers, financial-security thinkers, and operations people committed to formalising the informal economy.

OperationsKeeps every job moving from request to release, day to day.
Financial securityOwns how money is held on Wrklo, and decides when it is released.
Product engineeringBuilds the matching, identity checks and dispute tools the other three teams depend on.
Field operationsVerifies artisans in person before they ever see a job request.

Thousands of verified jobs completed. And we are just getting started.
