Konekta

Konekta is an Africa-focused super app for consumers, sellers, and teams that combines messaging, translated calls, Wave payments, and a built-in marketplace.

Key capabilities include:

• Messaging and HD calls: Send text, voice notes, photos, and files, plus make one-to-one and group audio and video calls.
• Virtual number for privacy: Chat, sell, and receive calls without exposing a personal phone number.
• Wave payments in chat: Send and receive money inside conversations using Wave-certified payments (transactions go through Wave’s official API).
• Commerce tools: Buy and sell products, vehicles, and real estate with Wave or card payment options, reservations, and PDF receipts; Click & Collect supports QR-code pickup (valid for 24 hours) across categories like supermarkets, pharmacies, restaurants, and electronics.

Available on Android (Google Play) and Web (web app). The site also references an iPhone web app and states the App Store is “soon”.

Konekta serves a B2B2C audience: individuals and families that need private communication, payments, and buying or selling, plus professionals and businesses that want to run an online shop, generate product listings using an AI scanner, and document meetings with Co-Construction (agenda, transcription, and automatically generated minutes).

Notable in an African context, it positions communication, local commerce, and Wave-powered payments in one app, with live call translation (voice dubbing or subtitles) across 24 languages, aimed at multilingual communities, diaspora use cases, and cross-border conversations.
