Cashlogy: A Decade of Revolutionizing Payments in Malta

Imagine this: It’s 2012, and you’re strolling down Republic Street in Valletta, Malta’s bustling capital. You pop into a quaint café for a quick espresso. But instead of fumbling for coins or a crumpled note, you simply tap your phone on the counter. That, dear reader, is the future that Kintech brought to our shores ten years ago with Cashlogy, Malta’s first mobile payment app.

From Concept to Reality: The Birth of Cashlogy

In the heart of Malta’s tech scene, Kintech was brewing an idea that would transform the way we pay. The year was 2012, and smartphones were becoming ubiquitous. But mobile payments? That was still a distant dream. Until Kintech stepped in. They envisioned a world where your phone was your wallet, and Cashlogy was born.

Cashlogy launched in 2012, a pioneering app that allowed users to pay for goods and services using their mobile phones. It was a simple concept, but its impact was profound. Suddenly, Malta was at the forefront of a global shift towards cashless societies.

Growing Pains and Milestones

Cashlogy’s journey wasn’t always smooth. Early adopters faced teething issues, and merchants were slow to embrace the change. But Kintech persevered, refining the app and educating the public. They partnered with local businesses, from cafés like the one on Republic Street to major retailers like Plaza Centers.

In 2014, Cashlogy hit a significant milestone: it processed its millionth transaction. By 2016, it was processing over €10 million in transactions annually. Today, it’s used by over 100,000 Maltese, processing millions in transactions each year.

Cashlogy Today: Leading the Cashless Revolution

Cashlogy has evolved significantly over the years. It now offers features like bill payments, money transfers, and even cryptocurrency purchases. It’s integrated with public transport, allowing users to pay for bus fares with a simple tap. It’s also expanded beyond Malta’s shores, with operations in other European countries.

But despite its growth, Cashlogy remains true to its roots. It’s still a local app, designed by Maltese for Maltese. It’s still about making life simpler, one tap at a time.

As we look to the future, it’s clear that Cashlogy’s impact on Malta’s payments scene is far from over. With each tap, it’s redefining what’s possible. And Kintech? They’re just getting started.

“We’re not just a payment app,” says Kintech’s CEO, “We’re a tool for a better, more connected Malta.”
