Investment holding company operating fintech lending, payments, and retail brands
Weaver Fintech operates three major business units—Finchoice and PayJustnow (fintech: lending, payments, insurance) and Homechoice (omni-channel retail)—serving 3.1 million customers across South Africa. The tech stack is modern and distributed (React Native, Vue, Node.js, AWS, GCP, Firebase) with active investment in serverless architecture and event-driven systems, while the hiring mix skews toward mid- and senior-level engineers and product roles. The project roadmap reveals simultaneous scaling efforts: fintech platform migration to AWS, MVNO launch, and critical risk infrastructure (credit scoring, fraud detection)—a combination suggesting both customer growth and operational complexity management.
