Overview

AKELO is a highly scalable fintech and media distribution platform, enabled by unique technologies and embedded IP. We offer bespoke solutions focused on generating sustainable revenue streams from multiple products, by securing ownership of the last mile for each channel. This provides a marketplace for embedded financial services and engagement solutions for corporates, independent retailers and SME merchants, linking brands and underserved consumers, across Africa and the Middle East. With the recent acquisition of the strategic fintech and customer engagement entities, 2Engage, Crossgate, Tuyu and Efficacy Payments, AKELO is well poised for scalable growth in Africa, Middle East and emerging markets. The additional acquisition of bonsella®, South Africa’s largest independent retail shopping rewards program, enables AKELO to provide in-house tested solutions as well as access to the associated retail and consumer network. Through the consolidation of the different business units under two clear take-to-market structures (B2B and B2BC), AKELO is ideally positioned to offer new channels to market with improved cost efficiencies and market penetration. The recent purchase and roll-up of the group companies has allowed AKELO to reposition key resources for improved focus and delivery, and utilize the broad client base for cross-selling products and services.
