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.
That’s why our team is visible, reachable and responsive.
We believe in coopetition — working with other PSPs, not against them.
We build solutions that rival — and often exceed — those in more developed regions.
Payments are only as good as the trust behind them.
To simplify payments across emerging markets — making them more inclusive, more reliable and more scalable for everyone.
