Mr. Eric Kortey, Cellulant Ghana’s Country Manager, expressed his delight at the product’s launch and license acquisition, while also expressing his optimism about the country’s future in payments and the Fintech ecosystem. As he put it, “We believe that Ghana is quickly emerging as a fintech hub in Africa.” Being granted a license by the Bank of Ghana is extremely beneficial to the development of our industry, as it opens the door to greater security and confidence in digital payment systems. Ghanaians will be able to pay for their goods and services through any payment channel of their choosing thanks to Cellulant’s digital payments platform.”

“Cellulant is addressing the fragmentation of payments for both businesses and their customers,” Kortey says in regards to the launch of Tingg. The digital platform, which was recently launched in Zambia as well, provides merchants with simplified payment tools and processes to better manage their payments and cash flow. Because of this, businesses can allow their customers to pay for goods and services using payment options that are appropriate for their location.”
