Saropa is the company behind Saropa Contacts, the intelligent address book that helps you organise your connections and stay prepared.
Our Mission
We believe an address book should do more than store names and numbers. Saropa Contacts helps you keep your information complete, organised, and accessible — whether you need to find a local emergency number abroad, clean up duplicate entries, or see your contacts on a map.
Our mission is to make sure the right information is always at hand, for everyone.
Why Saropa?
Our Story
We didn't start by building an address book. We started by building a lifeline.
Saropa grew out of financial technology and online security. Our team saw how unprepared people were when disaster struck—unable to find the right contact, prove what they owned, or reach the people who mattered most. So we built crisis management and family protection tools, driven by a single question: When it matters most, can you find the people you need?
That work taught us something: the contact list is the foundation. In a moment of panic, a disorganised phone is more than annoying—it's a barrier. True preparedness means having the right information, accessible instantly, no matter where you are in the world.
Today, we have taken that “crisis-grade” reliability and applied it to everyday life. Whether you need emergency services across 195+ countries or just need to clean up a cluttered list, your address book should be the most reliable tool in your pocket.
Our principle remains the same as day one: Your contacts should work for you, not the other way around.
