Our mission
Make moving money in CEMAC as easy as sending a text.
Mobile money is an important part of everyday payments in Cameroon. Nobody should need to bounce between four apps to pay an electricity bill while topping up airtime and sending pocket money to a cousin in Yaoundé. That's what we're here to fix.
Started where it matters.
QuataPay was founded in Bamenda in 2023 by Clovis Ngwa, Founder of Quata Digital Enterprise.
We had a shared frustration: every product that touches Cameroonian wallets was either built somewhere else and retrofitted to this market, or built here but with feature gaps you only noticed at the counter on market day.
So we built one that started here. Every choice — the languages in the app, the channels we plug into, the bills we integrate, the agent commission split — was made by people who actually use mobile money for everyday life. Then we opened it up to merchants, agents, institutions, and developers.
QuataPay is not a bank and does not represent itself as one. It works in partnership with regulated financial institutions: it is an MTN Mobile Money partner, with funds associated with MTN MoMo transactions held within the MTN Mobile Money infrastructure, and it maintains a corporate banking relationship with Afriland First Bank used for operations and the settlement of funds.
What we believe
Six things we won't compromise on.
Free between people
Wallet-to-wallet stays free, forever. Our business is the rails between the wallets and the world, not the wallets themselves.
Money you can trust
KYC tiers that scale with the limits. An optional wallet PIN on top of your password. Every fee shown before you confirm.
Built here, for here
Cameroon-specific bill integrations, NIU verification, French/English first-class, MTN+Orange parity from day one.
Velocity over polish
Ship every two weeks. Every release is admin-toggleable so a bad rollout can be rolled back without redeploy.
Honest pricing
Free P2P. Merchant fees set per account. The full schedule lives at /legal/fees — no asterisks, no upsell.
Customer obsession
Support is local, in EN + FR, responding in business hours. Every founder spends one day a quarter on customer tickets.
Compliance + trust
The boring fundamentals.
Payments is a regulated industry. We treat it that way.
Partner institutions
QuataPay is an MTN Mobile Money partner; funds associated with MTN MoMo transactions are held within the MTN Mobile Money infrastructure. A corporate banking relationship with Afriland First Bank covers operations and settlement.
Not a bank
QuataPay works in partnership with regulated financial institutions rather than representing itself as a bank. It holds no banking licence and does not take deposits from the public.
Tiered KYC
Three KYC tiers (basic, standard, premium) with limits that scale up. Premium tier requires NIU + proof of address + proof of income.
AML / CFT
Velocity rules, geographic checks and sanctioned-party screening on every onboarding and large transfer, raised into an alert queue for review.
Data protection
Compliant with Cameroon's Law on Cybersecurity and Personal Data Protection. PII encrypted at rest. Right-to-delete honoured within 30 days.
