Content Creators Get a Global Wallet With Jami, New Digital Monetization Tool

JAMI, in collaboration with Arifpay Financial Technologies, has officially launched Ethiopia’s first multi-currency digital tipping platform, setting a new standard in the country’s fast-evolving digital economy. The launch event, held at Hyatt Regency Addis Ababa, marked the beginning of a platform built to empower content creators with the freedom to monetize their work across borders.

Designed for creators—from streamers and educators to influencers and artists—JAMI allows users to receive instant financial support from fans in both local and international currencies. By doing so, the platform positions itself as a powerful tool for creators within Ethiopia and across the diaspora, helping them convert content into income without friction.

Natan Damtew, CEO and Founder of JAMI, said the platform was developed with a mission to give creators access to modern financial tools that match the scale of their influence. “We believe creators deserve better tools to monetize their influence. JAMI gives fans a meaningful way to show support, while giving creators financial freedom — across borders, without friction,” he explained during the launch.

Accessible through jami.bio, users set up personal microsites to showcase their content and receive tips via QR codes or links. These microsites act as digital business cards where creators can centralize their platforms and interactions. Fans can send tips easily without the need for complex sign-ups or applications, which makes the experience intuitive and inclusive.

Behind the technology stands Arifpay, one of Ethiopia’s leading fintech companies, which powers the financial infrastructure behind JAMI. The collaboration ensures the platform is not only innovative but also secure, scalable, and ready to handle a large volume of transactions with confidence.

Girum Getachew, Partnership and Business Director at Arifpay, emphasized the broader vision: “JAMI is an important addition to Ethiopia’s digital economy, and we’re proud to provide the financial rails that make it possible.”
