Pan-African payment firm Cellulant has launched a super payment app called Tingg. It is an app that unifies bill payments, remittances, lending, group investments, food and gas orders in one platform across eight African markets, and replaces Cellulant’s Mula. In essence, Cellulant has rebranded Mula to Tingg.
Mula was launched in 2015 as an innovative payments service that disrupted how consumers managed and paid bills. However, consumers’ interest evolved and the need for integrated service offerings was born. To tackle these needs, Cellulant rebranded Mula to Tingg.
With Tingg as Africa’s first payment super app, Cellulant aims to offer comprehensive digital payment services across the finance value chain. This rebranding move addresses the consumer’s needs as it provides a platform that bridges regional barriers and paves the way for an easy payment experience for consumers and businesses across Africa.

According to Divine Muragijimana – Cellulant’s Chief of Brand, Tingg aligns with the vision to connect consumers via a comprehensive platform where business takes place seamlessly. She stated that Tingg is leveraging technology to offer individuals and businesses simplified and personalized solutions.
Tingg will operate across the banking, eCommerce, hospitality, food, travel, logistics, and Agriculture sectors. It will be granting consumers access to financial services across Africa. Depending on the country, Tingg can be accessed via mobile app web, POS and via Cellulant’s banking agents. Consumers and businesses will leverage the platform to access P2P money transfers, online shopping, group payments & investments, and lending. They will also be able to link all their mobile money, debit & credit cards, and bank accounts seamlessly from their phones.
