Cellulant introduces a digital payments platform for retailers in Zambia
In an effort to foster growth for both the formal and informal sector in Zambia , Pan- African Payments business Cellulant has rolled out Tingg , a digital payments platform enabling businesses and their consumers to accept and make payments seamlessly .
In Zambia , where multiple mobile money players are fighting for market share , merchants and retailers have set up fragmented payment processes , contracts and accounts to accept all forms of payments .
Cellulant is addressing this fragmentation in payment processing for retailers by rolling out Tingg , a digital payments platform enabling businesses across Zambia to accept payments from their customers seamlessly .
“ Today , roughly 50 % of retail customers request to pay for their purchases using digital payment options . Therefore , for all businesses – small , medium , large , digitising their payments has moved from a good to have to a game-changer in what has become the new norm ,” said Gilbert Lungu , Country Manager , Cellulant Zambia . “ However , this demand presents several challenges for most merchants who might not always support the customer ’ s preferred payment method , resulting in merchants having to enable multiple solutions to support multiple wallets . We want to partner with these businesses and makes it easy for them to conveniently and affordably accept payments with fewer hoops .”
