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.

The full-stack approach means we didn't have to patch together multiple vendors. From payment acceptance to settlement and merchant management, everything works seamlessly under our own brand.
