Canta is the first payment solution that allows African merchants to pay their suppliers globally. Canta is used by over 50,000 people and businesses on four continents to send, spend, convert, and receive money internationally. Canta is not just for African businesses, it’s for individuals like you who trade internationally. Easy to use UI: - Canta is simple to use. Our user interface is simple and easy to use. The best option for all kinds of people. Instant, virtual KYC: - This eliminates the need for users to physically appear at a location and cuts the time it takes for each transaction in half. Real-time market rates: - Canta is able to source real-time FOREX market rates and provide users with the best rates available by utilizing technology and the internet. P2P (Peer to Peer) remittance: - Canta's P2P channel allows users to mention their desired rates (i.e. the amount they wish to sell, e.g. Bitcoin), find those offering to buy/sell FOREX at the provided rate, and complete these transactions all on a secure platform. - Canta's P2P process significantly reduces the possibility of fraud from either party by requiring both the sender and receiver to fund Canta's designated local Escrow accounts in their respective locations, and we take on the responsibility of making the necessary payments. - The transaction process takes between 24-48 hours for both parties to receive value and for completion, all to ensure safety. Local/Informal Channel Remittance: - A large number of FOREX-dependent industries that conduct high-volume transactions are not technologically savvy. Canta caters to these customers by providing dedicated 'in-house customer success managers' who support their needs and enable them to transfer or receive funds as easily as those who use our website or app. Multi-currency accounts with instant payout - Hold money in multiple currencies–over 50 currencies–and convert between currencies instantly, at the real exchange rate, for a super-low fee Canta bridges the payment gap between you and your clients and also brings the world to your fingertips.
