Twenty five years ago, the founders identified the need for a payments partner that serves more than one retailer, across more than one payment channel. At the time, providing merchant licences to retailers was a hurdle and legacy payment systems were too slow in processing and switching payments, and could not keep up with the market demand.
To meet this demand and present a solution, the founders leveraged strong relationships and partnerships with key market players in South Africa as Ecentric positioned itself as a trusted third-party payments partner to top tier retailers across the country.
These early customers recognised that Ecentric had a stronger payment solution – backed by robust infrastructure and the best service available.
