This solution enables users to easily transition from traditional currencies to cryptocurrencies. The company's mission is to connect Africa’s traditional financial system with the world of decentralized finance (DeFi).

"We are committed to building transparent solutions that allow people in emerging economies to participate in and benefit from decentralized finance," the startup explains on its website. Paychant supports over 40 digital assets and offers more than 150 payment methods.

The former is a directory of products, companies, and individuals, while the latter is a fintech platform that uses the digital currency Tigereum to buy, sell, send, and pay through social networks.
