Experience that understands
emerging markets.

Cross Switch provides a scalable payment orchestration platform built for the real-world complexity of Africa, Latin America and other fast-growing regions.

We simplify payments — and we build lasting partnerships based on service, trust and local expertise.

This is our story.

Cross Switch was founded by a team of payments experts who’ve spent many years building, scaling and securing payment infrastructure across Africa and beyond. From South to North, East Africa to Latin America, one challenge is clear: global solutions don’t always fit local needs.

That’s why we built Cross Switch. Our goal is simple — to orchestrate payments that actually work in emerging markets. With our unified CS+ Platform, we enable merchants, PSPs and payment partners to navigate regulatory, technical and commercial complexity with ease.

What we believe

Trust is built, not claimed.

That’s why our team is visible, reachable and responsive.

Collaboration beats competition.

We believe in coopetition — working with other PSPs, not against them.

Emerging markets deserve world-class infrastructure.

We build solutions that rival — and often exceed — those in more developed regions.

Compliance is part of the product.

Payments are only as good as the trust behind them.

Our mission

To simplify payments across emerging markets — making them more inclusive, more reliable and more scalable for everyone.

Our values – our commitment

Delivering real
business value

Cultivating collaborative
relationships

Sharing knowledge
and transferring skills

Clarity and simplicity with
a customer-first approach

Open, honest,
and committed

Leadership team

Cross Switch’s team blends deep industry experience across fintech, payments, banking, telecoms, e-commerce and private equity — with a strong focus on emerging economies.

Our team brings many years of hands-on experience and a proven track record investing in and operating payments businesses across these markets. This real-world expertise allows us to design solutions that are practical, scalable and aligned with local needs.

More than their credentials, what defines our team is their shared commitment to partnership, professionalism and delivering real results — for our clients, our partners and the communities we serve.

Cross Switch

Our experienced management team of investors and operators has a proven track record across technology, payments and M&A.
