Lusaka YC-backed fintech operating ChitChat messaging + Mastercard digital wallet for Zambia's 16.4M mobile users; rebuilding after $1.2B chargeback fraud with Mastercard/Paymentology partnership competing with M-Pesa for African digital payments.
About
Union54 is a Lusaka, Zambia-based fintech company — backed by Y Combinator — operating ChitChat, an integrated messaging and digital payments platform that combines secure instant messaging with USD digital wallets and Mastercard debit cards designed for African markets, launched in Zambia in March 2024 in partnership with Mastercard and Paymentology to serve Zambia's 16.4 million mobile-connected population with accessible cross-border payments, social commerce, and USD store-of-value accounts. Union54 previously issued 2+ million cards across Africa by July 2023 under an earlier card issuance product before temporarily ceasing services following a significant $1.2 billion chargeback fraud incident that required operational restructuring and fraud system redesign before the ChitChat relaunch.

About
100ms is a live audio and video infrastructure platform that provides developers with SDKs and APIs for embedding real-time communication features — video rooms, audio spaces, live streams, and recording — into web and mobile applications. The platform is designed around a room-based model where developers programmatically create, configure, and manage video rooms through a REST API, with client SDKs for React, iOS, Android, Flutter, and React Native handling the media layer. This abstraction allows teams to build fully custom video experiences with their own UI without dealing with WebRTC internals, TURN server management, or media server infrastructure.
