Cellulant is a leading Pan African payments company that provides locally relevant and alternative payment methods for global, regional and local merchants.
We provide a single API payments platform that enables businesses to collect payments online and offline while allowing anyone to pay from their mobile money, local and international cards or directly from their bank.
What are the odds that two young Africans could start a company over a cup of coffee and be successful?
In 2001 two young African men from opposite ends of the continent sat across from each other at a dinner table that led to a discussion over a cup of coffee. So intense was the conversation that problem solving models were created on a serviette that would fuel the establishment and growth of a multinational African firm forever changing the payments landscape.
They called the business “Cellulant” paying homage to the growing mobile phone penetration in Africa, but also symbolising the importance of a Cell, the smallest structural and functional unit of life that when combined with other Cells, build a whole being. This is born from Cellulant’s deep belief that it is the power of being connected that enables us to accomplish more, together.
