TTalk360 offers an international calling service that lets users call mobile or landline numbers around the world using a mobile app. Users purchase call credits and use the app to place calls; because the system supports low-connectivity environments, the receiver does not need internet for the call. The service accepts local currencies and more than 60 payment methods, emphasizing affordability and accessibility for users in developing countries. Revenue comes from selling call credits, and the company backs its service with a 14-day money-back guarantee. Compared to competitors, Talk360 differentiates itself by enabling calls to traditional phone networks even in low-quality internet areas, supporting a wide range of payments and currencies, and focusing on reliable, cost-effective international calling. Its goal is to help people stay connected globally by providing simple, affordable, and dependable calling regardless of the user’s location or network conditions.

HAVAÍC, a South African venture capital firm, has led a $1.4 million secondary investment in Talk360, a global calling app. The transaction was supported by Universum Wealth, a limited partner in HAVAÍC's $50 million African Innovation Fund 3. Founded to serve African diaspora communities, Talk360 has grown into a global communications platform connecting over 6 million people. The company became profitable in 2025 after raising over $10 million in 2022 from African venture capital and fintech investors. The funding will support product development and platform expansion, including Shop360, a feature enabling users to send mobile airtime and data bundles to over 180 countries. The deal allowed early angel investors, who backed the company since 2016, to realise partial liquidity with returns of up to 5x.
Similarly, Talk360, an app catering to Africans abroad, has launched NjiaPay, a separate payment platform aimed at simplifying e-commerce payments across the continent.
