Letamo R&D

We don't wait for the future. We investigate it.

Our research and development efforts explore emerging technologies, underserved markets and new forms of digital infrastructure.

Areas under investigation

The question isn't what technology can we build.

The question is: what does Africa need next?

  • AI
  • Digital identity
  • Payment infrastructure
  • Financial technology
  • Cybersecurity
  • Automation
  • Informal-market technology
  • Digital commerce
  • Logistics
  • Cross-border technology
  • Data infrastructure

Payments & digital commerce

Building the infrastructure for participation.

Letamo's long-term technology exploration includes digital payment infrastructure designed for both established businesses and underserved markets.

The objective is to make participation in the digital economy more accessible, trusted and efficient.

Research, not a product

Nothing on this page is a live service. Letamo announces a company when it starts serving customers, not before. These are the domains we are investigating and the problems we think are worth solving next.

We build where opportunity exists.

Something needs to be built.

If you are a founder, operator, business, technology partner, investor or organisation working on problems worth solving, Letamo wants to hear from you.
