Our Values System

This is our Lesaka Values System, which underpins our mission to enable our merchants to compete and grow, and our customers, grant beneficiaries, to improve their lives, by providing innovative financial technology and value-creating solutions.

An Entrepreneurial Spirit is at our core - enabled by our values of Integrity, Collective Wisdom and Ownership.

Our outcome value is Bias to Action - the result of applying the anchor and enabling principles with integrity.

Our Values

INTEGRITY

Go barefoot on the straight and narrow


Authenticity and honesty should be our constant guides. Don’t be economical with the truth. Speak with clarity. Act with courage.

COLLECTIVE WISDOM

We dance better together


We cannot achieve greatness as individuals. We are a team, a tribe, together for a common purpose. We have strength in diversity and encourage open debate, harnessing the energy and skills of the collective, directed by those most qualified to do so.

ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT

Blaze new trails


We don’t just want to win the game, we want to change the game. That requires us to push ourselves further than we thought possible, to seek and relish discomfort, and to dream big.

OWNERSHIP

Call for the ball


Empower yourself by recognising you always have the capacity to make a positive impact. Take accountability whether it’s your direct responsibility or not. Don’t complain, don’t blame.

BIAS TO ACTION

Walk Slow, Run Fast


Don’t sit on the fence. Don’t hesitate, but do understand the landscape before you move. Observe, learn, plan with rigor, then move with urgency, focus and precision; testing, adapting and improving as you go. Be proud of what you do.

RESILIENCE

Put one foot in front of the other


Every day we start with the same commitment, energy and belief as if

we are at the beginning. We find our destination in our journey. The

many small steps we take lead to the leaps that will make us successful.

If we never give up, we can never lose.

EMPATHY

Walk in someone else’s shoes


Be open, be curious. Listen and learn be it from customers or from colleagues. Empathy is much of what makes us human and creates a culture of care and trust.

CUSTOMER FIRST

Stand for your customer


The customer defines our purpose. How and where we serve differentiates us. There is joy in service. Wherever possible we are physically present. We are where our customers are.

EFFICIENCY

Every Step Counts


We embrace technology to make us as efficient as possible. We also think differently to build products that make our customers’ lives better. We find the straightest, most practical path to get there and not the winding, theoretical one.

MERITOCRACY

Recognise results, not roles


We believe in equality of opportunity not outcome. Fairness is about giving people what they deserve not giving everyone the same. The culture is one of performance and results orientation. Performance earns opportunity. We are a commercial enterprise, the customer is

our purpose, but profit is our propulsion. We will attract the best and we will reward excellence.
