General

What is blENDe Co?

blENDe Co is Zambia's first AI-powered life admin marketplace — a suite of products that helps you manage jobs, groceries, savings, and loans in one place, accessible via mobile money.

How do I create an account?

Visit blende.app and click "Get started free". Enter your email and phone number, verify with a one-time code sent to your email, and you're in. One account gives you access to all blENDe Co products.

Is blENDe Co available outside Zambia?

blENDe Co is currently built specifically for the Zambian market — ZMW pricing, Zambian job listings, Zambian supermarkets, and Zambian lenders. Regional expansion is planned for Year 2.

How do I pay for blENDe Co products?

All products are accessible via Airtel Money, MTN MoMo, or card. Subscriptions are set at low monthly price points — starting from ZMW 25/month — and can be cancelled anytime.

Is my data safe?

Yes. All data is stored securely and never sold to third parties in identifiable form. B2B data products use fully anonymised, aggregated data only. You can delete your account and all associated data at any time.

blENDe Basket

How does blENDe Basket work?

After shopping, take a photo of your receipt or upload one from your gallery. Our AI reads every item and price, categorises your spending, and compares prices across Shoprite, Pick n Pay, Choppies, and Game.

Is blENDe Basket free?

Yes — blENDe Basket is completely free. There is no subscription, no paywall, and no premium tier. The only thing we ask for is the scan.

Which stores does blENDe Basket support?

We support Shoprite, Pick n Pay, Game, Choppies, Spar, and most major Zambian supermarkets. If your store isn't recognised, we'll add it automatically and improve coverage over time.

What if my receipt scan is inaccurate?

Scan quality depends on photo clarity. For best results, lay the receipt flat on a light surface and photograph it straight-on. If items are misread, the admin team reviews low-confidence scans regularly to improve accuracy.

Where can I see my spending history?

Go to blende.app/basket/tracker after signing in. You'll see your monthly spend, category breakdown, and store history for every scan you've made.

blENDe Jobs

How does blENDe Jobs find jobs for me?

We scrape 8+ Zambian job platforms daily — including LinkedIn, Zambia Job Boards, company career pages, and Facebook groups — and surface the best matches for your profile.

What does the AI CV adaptation do?

When you apply for a specific role, Claude AI rewrites your CV to highlight the experience most relevant to that job description and generates a personalised cover letter. The whole process takes under 60 seconds.

How much does blENDe Jobs cost?

The free tier gives you 5 job alerts per week and basic search. Full search and AI CV adaptation starts at ZMW 80/month. The interview prep tier is ZMW 150/month.

Can I upload my existing CV?

Yes. Go to blende.app/jobs/cv and upload your current CV. We'll parse it and use it as the base for all AI adaptations.

Check it Out

What does Check it Out do?

Check it Out aggregates savings and investment products across Zambian banks, unit trusts, money market funds, T-bills, and SACCOs. Enter your goal, time horizon, and risk appetite — we return ranked, explained options.

Does blENDe Co earn commission on products I choose?

Yes — we earn an introducer commission from the financial institution if you place funds via our platform. This is disclosed transparently and does not affect the rate you receive.

How current is the product data?

Rates and product details are updated regularly. We always recommend confirming current rates directly with the institution before placing funds.

blENDe Borrow

What does blENDe Borrow do?

blENDe Borrow compares loan products across 34 Zambian lenders — banks, MFIs, and digital lenders — so you can find the lowest rate and most suitable terms for your needs.

Does applying through blENDe Borrow affect my credit score?

Browsing and comparing on blENDe Borrow does not affect your credit score. A credit check only happens when you formally apply with a lender.

How do I know which loan is right for me?

Enter your loan amount, preferred term, and purpose. We rank available products by total cost of credit — not just headline interest rate — so you see the true cost of each option.

Account & Billing

How do I cancel my subscription?

Go to blende.app/account and select Subscriptions. You can cancel any active subscription from there. Cancellations take effect at the end of your current billing period.

How do I update my phone number or email?

Go to blende.app/account and edit your profile details. Email changes require re-verification.
