UBA announces partnership with Cellulant to expand reach.

Cellulant and United Bank for Africa (UBA) Plc have announced a partnership that will extend payment services for merchants and consumers across nineteen key African countries where UBA operates.

The countries are; Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Côte d’Ivoire, Zambia, Tanzania, Uganda, Republic of Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Gabon, Guinea, Liberia, Mozambique, Sierra Leone and Senegal.

Report says that the network represents one of the primary tools in bringing together Africa’s fragmented payments ecosystem, ensuring Cellulant’s payment gateway, Tingg, is available to a vast number of merchants and consumers in each of these markets.

Already, over 15 billion dollars in gross value payments are processed by Cellulant across the shared markets – and report says the partnership has the scope to expand the numbers significantly.
