About Ezeebit

Ezeebit is an enterprise-grade stablecoin and cryptocurrency payments platform that enables businesses to accept, hedge, convert, and settle digital assets seamlessly. We provide the infrastructure for merchants to move value globally - securely, compliantly, and instantly - in-store and online.

Our full-stack platform includes Android-based ePOS terminals, payment APIs, e-commerce plugins, and backend infrastructure that swaps crypto into stablecoins on-the-fly and settles merchants in local currency or stablecoins. We're FSCA/CASP authorised in South Africa, regulated in Kenya, and expanding throughout Africa.

Ezeebit has raised $2.05 million in seed funding led by Founder Collective, whose co-founder David Frankel has appeared four times on the Forbes Midas List and backed 10+ billion-dollar startups including Uber, Whoop, Airtable, and The Trade Desk. The round also includes Raba Partnership, an early backer of Flutterwave, Stitch, Fuse, and BVNK, along with strategic angels Terry Angelos (ex-Visa), Anton Katz (Talos), Nadir Khamissa (Hello Group), David De Picciotto (ex-Revolut), and Chris Harmse (BVNK).

We've already processed millions of dollars in transactions and are positioned to drive mass crypto adoption across the continent and beyond.
