  Cellulant Tingg pricing is not published as a public rate card. Fees are
  negotiated per-merchant by country, payment rail (mobile money / bank /
  card), and merchant category. The structure below captures the commercially
  visible plan shape; concrete per-transaction percentages must be obtained
  from a Tingg sales contract.
