Fidèle Nsadi (photo) is a Congolese computer scientist and technology entrepreneur who graduated from the University of Kinshasa in 2022. He is the co-founder and CEO of tech company Faithful LLC.

Through Faithful LLC, he launched a fintech solution that works without an internet connection. The solution, called Express App, offers quick and easy access to financial services, including mobile money, mobile banking, and plan activation services, among others. Thanks to its USSD-based technology, the app makes life easy for its users and provides a very intuitive user experience.

"Express App is a mobile fintech solution that aims to accelerate financial inclusion by offering several financial services in the DRC and the rest of Africa in a simple and fast way. The peculiarity of Express App is that it works without an Internet connection, to allow a large number of people to access financial services such as mobile money, mobile banking, and the purchase of credit via a mobile application, even if they do not have access to the Internet, the penetration rate of which is still very low in the DRC and in many other African countries," Fidèle said in an interview published by TechCabal in February 2023.

Express App is not the only product launched by Faithful LLC. The startup, which was incubated by DR Congo incubator Ingenious City (October 2020-March 2021), also launched an instant messaging platform called Masolo.

For this messaging platform, Fidele Nsadi was the front-end developer. His entry into the professional world happened in 2018 when he worked as an IT manager for Convipat, an association that promotes agriculture and the consumption of healthy local products.

In 2019, at the university in Kinshasa, he was chosen as an assistant project manager for a project aimed at building a water supply system for residents in Dwale in the Bateke plateaus. In 2020, the fish production center RATALBI Pisciculture hired him as an IT consultant.
