Our Story
Halo Dot – the fintech scale-up taking payment acceptance global
Our story began in 2019, when we were approached to develop Africa’s first SoftPOS solution. What began as a bold experiment inside Synthesis Software Technologies quickly grew into something bigger. Proof that mobile devices could transform how businesses everywhere accept payments.
Backed by Araxi Limited, Halo Dot became an independent brand in 2022 and the first MPoC-certified Software Vendor in Africa. Today, we’re scaling globally and empowering our partners to deliver secure, accessible and innovative payment solutions to their merchants.
