The number of new companies that created a Bolt Business account in 2023 grew by 70% year-on-year!

This growth puts Bolt Business on course to becoming a B2B unicorn within a B2C unicorn (Bolt) in the coming years.

“Our commitment to offering a service that’s affordable, transparent, and reliable is appealing to companies worldwide — helping us to attract new clients year after year. At the same time, our industry-leading expense management tools put us in a position to continue our stellar growth into 2024.”

Rapid growth in turbulent times

2023 was a challenging year as businesses set out to stay afloat against tough economic conditions, geo-political issues, and many climate disasters. All of which created a tough sales environment. Especially across Africa, where several regions experienced fuel scarcity, power outages, and currency devaluation.

Despite these challenges, Bolt Business marked 2023 with a 70% increase in company signups compared with 2022.

Much of this success came down to launching a host of new markets, including Azerbaijan, Paraguay, and Thailand, as well as a range of new services that cater to the needs of businesses and their employees.
