Description

Cheers is a global “Wallet-as-a-Service” platform. Worldwide compliant, no bank account needed. We offer a suite of APIs for developers to seamlessly embed in-app wallets and to build game-changing features using mobile money without jeopardising cross-border scalability.

FOCUS

PRODUCTS & SERVICES:
API-based wallets with global transaction capabilities. Cheer Wallets come white-labelled or branded and do not require a user to have a bank account or payment card. Able to transact in multiple currencies, instantly, and down to micro price-points (e.g. $0.01).

PRIMARY PROBLEM SOLVED:
There are 3 billion smartphone users connected through global platforms (WhatsApp, Facebook, and many others). These platforms struggle to integrate mobile money because their user base is highly fragmented with 1000s of wallets, countless regulatory regimes, various levels of financial inclusion.
