Chipper Cash is a pan-African fintech (legal entities Critical Ideas, Inc. and Voyse Technologies US, Inc.) operating a mobile-first cross-border money transfer, digital payments, crypto, and investing platform across Africa and the diaspora. Founded in 2018 by Ham Serunjogi (Uganda) and Maijid Moujaled (Ghana) after they met at Grinnell College in Iowa, Chipper became one of Africa's fintech unicorns in 2021 and has raised over $340M to date. The consumer app — available on iOS, Android, and web — supports peer-to-peer and cross-border transfers across 21+ African countries, virtual Visa cards (Chipper Card), bill pay and airtime top-ups, fractional US-stock investing (Chipper Stocks, 6,000+ public companies, from $1), and historically crypto trading (BTC/ETH). Reported scale includes 5M+ registered users, 1M+ Visa cards issued, and 250,000+ daily transactions. Direct consumer markets include Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, South Africa, Rwanda, the UK, and the US. On the developer side, Chipper exposes the Chipper Network API ("Pay With Chipper") — a merchant-facing API that lets authorized businesses accept cross-border payments across 9 currencies, initiate payouts, issue refunds, and look up Chipper user accounts, authenticated with a Chipper User ID + Network API Key. Documentation is published as a Postman collection and access is gated by merchant onboarding; no public OpenAPI or open-source SDK is currently published. Adjacent products include Chipper ID (AI-led identity verification), Chipper Enterprise (bulk payments and collections), Business Accounts, and Zoona (agent-network remittances), plus an integration with TBD's tbDEX protocol for decentralized cross-border payments.
