“We are deeply committed to simplifying e-commerce in Africa and are excited to collaborate with Cellulant in expanding Copia’s market reach.

Remittance inflows to Kenya have increased tenfold in the last fifteen years, reaching an all-time high of 3.72 m************** in 2021, according to the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK).

Diasporans and people living in urban areas can use Copia’s online platform to pay for goods and have them delivered to friends and family back home.

“We are delighted to be Copia’s payments technology partner enabling consumers in the diaspora to make purchases seamlessly. As the African e-commerce and payments landscape in Africa continues to evolve, we believe that fintechs and e-commerce platforms need to have a deeper collaboration in expanding opportunities that will help ease payments and collections for businesses and their consumers across all sectors of the economy”, said Akshay Grover, Chief Executive Officer Cellulant.
