October 8, 2019 - Cellulant has announced the official launch of TINGG, an all-in-one consumer super app, in 8 African countries. The app offers a wide array of payment, commerce, and financial services, aiming to revolutionize the way customers interact with digital payment services in the continent.
TINGG is now available in Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, Mozambique, Zambia, and Botswana. The app includes features such as buying airtime, ordering gas and food, and fundraising, among others.
Cellulant's co-CEO, Ken Njoroge, said, "Recent statistics indicate that roughly 62 per cent of sub-Saharan Africans are unbanked. However, even those of us who are able to open bank accounts often face challenges such as high transaction costs, fragmented markets, and inconvenient payment options. It is for this reason that we have built a digital commerce platform that tackles not only the access problem but also offers a variety of financial services and improved user experiences."
Cellulant's digital payment infrastructure connects consumers and businesses to over 120 banks and 40 mobile network operators, allowing for interoperability that has eluded numerous players in the payments space. This sets TINGG on the path to accelerate Africa's digital transformation by connecting consumers and businesses to a simple, fast, and secure financial services experience.
