Littlefish provides a commerce orchestration layer that combines point-of-sale applications, back-office CRMs, merchant portals, payments, and APIs into a single platform that integrates directly with POS devices and core banking systems. The platform enables large financial institutions to offer unified, digital-first merchant services at scale and to onboard small businesses more seamlessly. Littlefish serves tier-1 banks including Standard Bank, First National Bank (FNB), and Absa, and has a significant partnership with Visa that integrates its platform into small-business onboarding. Founded in 2021 and based in Johannesburg, the company has expanded beyond South Africa and plans further growth across more than ten African markets. Since its seed round the company reports a 30x increase in recurring monthly revenue, and it recently raised a $9.5M Series A to fund hiring, product development, and market expansion.
