About
Why we are building Peercel.
Sending a parcel between Europe and Africa is, in 2026, still a badly solved problem. Postal mail is slow and tracking often stops at the border. Express carriers cost, for a few kilos, more than what you are sending is worth. Meanwhile, thousands of people make the trip every week with spare kilos in their luggage.
The system already exists, in truth: in every diaspora family, someone knows someone who is flying. That arrangement works — until the day you have to hand a parcel to someone you do not know. At that point there is no payment guarantee, no proof of handover, and no recourse if the parcel never arrives.
Peercel gives that practice what it was missing: a framework. Payment is escrowed and only leaves on delivery. Identities are verified. Every handover is confirmed by a code held by the other party. A dispute can be opened and arbitrated. Trust no longer rests on a personal connection; it rests on mechanisms.
We are not trying to replace freight or the postal service. We want to make workable, at scale and between strangers, what families already do among themselves.
What we stand for
Trust is built, not announced
Identity verification, escrow, handover codes, trust levels: every promise the service makes rests on a mechanism you can check.
People before logistics
Behind every parcel there is a family, a birthday, a prescription, a spare part you cannot find locally. We design for those moments.
Built for both shores
Mobile money as much as cards, African ID documents as much as European ones, French and English: the product is designed on both sides of the corridor, not exported from one to the other.
The team
Peercel is built by a small team based in France, with roots in West Africa. We are not hiring yet; if the project speaks to you, write to us.
