Salary benchmarks
Our take
Companies like Shopify have been big contenders in the eCommerce sector for a while now, but with increasing usage and demand comes an increase in user fees and advertisements. RedCloud Technologies have been around since 2012 providing a platform for entrepreneurs to trade without the worry of commission charges and high transaction fees.
The company stresses its desire for its platform to be digitally friendly and easy to use. Merchants can offer digital services through any connected device, selling electronic top-ups from brands such as AT&T and Unefon. On top of the easy automation, RedCloud Technologies also offers financial service support to its merchants, pioneering open banking marketplaces.
The company has a well-established client base, including companies like Guinness, and continues to expand into different countries, opening itself up to busy entrepreneur and trader markets. It has also opened offices in London, Paris, Cambridge, Casablanca, and Buenos Aires as it continues to grow its team. RedCloud Technologies seems set to continue its aggressive growth plans like its payment option expansion collaboration with Paystack, and it's exciting to see how the company will continue to face up to competitors.
