Chipper Cash said its bitcoin payments platform, powered by Voltage’s lightning infrastructure, now routes over 50% of its bitcoin transactions via the lightning network, marking one of the largest real‑world lightning deployments to date.
Founded in 2018, the pan‑African fintech offers remittances, cross‑border payments, virtual Visa cards, stock investing and stablecoin rails.
Lightning integration has delivered faster, more reliable transactions and greater operational resilience compared with traditional fiat rails that face frequent downtime.
The rollout enables interoperability with other lightning apps like Strike and Cash App and underpins Chipper Cash’s Chessa remittance product that delivers instant local fiat payouts in 25+ currencies, positioning the company as a continental leader in scaling bitcoin payments where legacy infrastructure remains unreliable.
