About Littlefish

Littlefish is a full stack, white-label merchant services platform built for banks and financial institutions serving SMEs/MSMEs across Africa.
It extends existing acquiring and banking infrastructure, rather than replacing it, and supports digital-first merchant operations across in-store and online channels. Key capabilities include:
- Infrastructure extension that integrates with existing systems to add merchant services without a rip-and-replace migration
- Integration with POS devices and core banking systems to connect merchant operations to bank infrastructure
- End-to-end in-store to online experience designed to support merchant journeys across physical and digital channels
- Merchant ecosystem connectivity that links small businesses with customers, wholesalers, and financial service providers
Available on Web and mobile (mobile-first experience).
Target users include acquiring banks and financial institutions that want to offer digital-first merchant services to SME customers.
Notable in the African market context, the company is headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa, was founded in 2020, and raised a $9.5M Series A (March 2026) led by Partech, with participation from TLCOM, Flourish Ventures, and Proparco.
