Cellulant.

You might not have encountered them directly.

But if you’ve shopped on Jumia, booked a flight across Africa, or sent money through Nala, you’ve probably paid through them.

And back in 2008 when Cellulant started payments, things were different. Very different.

Most business happened offline. Traditional banks were giving the side-eye to this digital transactions thing.

And customers? They largely knew only one way to pay: cash.

But as mobile phones became a hit across Africa, Cellulant saw a future where banks, mobile money platforms, and businesses could come together and make online payments a reality.

That future is happening right now.

In 2020, Africa saw about 47 billion individual transactions from digital payments, amassing over $800 billion in total transaction values.
