Bundle, a social payment app for cash and cryptocurrency, has decided to close down after three years of service.
A company representative released a formal statement saying that Bundle Africa will stop operating its exchange services.
This is part of what its Shareholders decided to do to reshape the business so that it can focus on another product, Cashlink.
Cashlink, its peer-to-peer tool that has done more than 3 million transactions in less than two years, will continue to work on its own to speed up the use of cryptocurrencies in Africa.
