About Klasha

Klasha was founded in 2018 in Lagos, Nigeria by a team of ex-Amazon, Shopify, Net-a-Porter and ASOS employees. It was founded to make consumer goods online more accessible to customers across Africa. At Klasha, we believe that consumers in Africa should have the same frictionless access to the goods they want regardless of their geographic location. So, we've built a couple of cool products to facilitate this. The Klasha checkout allows international retailers to sell seamlessly into the African continent and accept payments online in local African currencies. We accept card payments, mobile money and M-Pesa. We also offer end-to-end logistics for our retailers, tackling the complex maze of last-mile logistics on the continent so they don't have to and so that consumers receive their orders faster. We've also built an app that allows consumers to generate virtual foreign currency cards so that they can shop online from their favourite retailers or pay for bills like international school fees or subscriptions like Netflix, Spotify or Apple music (one of the Klashans paid for his MBA using the app).
