At Talk360, we have a special focus on Africa. Not only is Dean, one of the co-founders, South African, but we also believe that Africa is where we can make the most impact.
While rolling out Talk360’s mobile calling app in South Africa, we identified another big challenge which we believe we can help solving. Over 70% of all African consumers are not able to purchase international digital services, like call credit for Talk360. Africa has a scattered payment culture,with each country having its unique card, wallet and cash solution.
Many international payment companies don’t back these local options or the 54 different currencies across the continent. To bridge this distance, we are creating a unique distribution network by supporting numerous local payment methods, generic vouchers and Talk360 vouchers. In several countries we also have suoer userm and agent referral programmes to re-invest into the local communities.
Building upon this in 2024, we co-launched
NjiaPay, the world's first single checkout payment platform combining all local currencies & payment methods for all Africans. This platform will enable Africans to purchase services they never had access to before
