BetriBox is not a betting or gaming company. "Betri" is Swahili for battery.

Why we exist
Your phone is your whole life. It shouldn't die on you.
Sikiza. When your phone dies, everything stops. And the fix today? Beg the bartender to charge it behind the counter, carry a heavy power bank, or suffer. Aah-ah. Si leo.
Nana
So BetriBox puts charged power banks where you already sit long: bars, lounges, salons, clinics, campus, co-working, events. You grab one, charge on the move, drop it at any station. Hakuna kukaa kwa socket.

Maswali
Questions, answered (with help from Nana).
What is BetriBox?
BetriBox is Kenya's charging network: power bank rental. Grab a charged power bank from any BetriBox station, charge on the move, and drop it at any station. Pay with M-Pesa and the unused deposit comes back automatically.
Nana: Power bank yako ya kurent, popote. Grab. Charge. Drop.
Where can I charge my phone?
At any BetriBox station. Instead of hunting for a socket or a phone charging station, rent a portable charger: grab a charged power bank, charge your phone on the move, and drop it at any BetriBox. Every power bank has USB-C, Lightning and micro-USB cables built in, so it works with Android, iPhone and older phones.
Nana: Usikae kwa socket ya mtu. Grab, charge, endelea na life.
Is BetriBox a betting or gaming app?
No. BetriBox has nothing to do with betting or gaming. "Betri" is Swahili for battery: BetriBox rents out power banks so your phone stays on.
Nana: Betri ni battery. That's it, that's the whole name.
Who is Nana the Banana?
Nana is BetriBox's mascot, the spirit of your battery. She's fresh yellow at 100%, worried at 20% and brown and dramatic at 2%. BetriBox brings her back.
