Payment

Getting paid; making sure your customers can pay you; and getting that money out of the country is the life-blood of your business.
Slipping up on any one of them could be fatal.
An extensive network coupled with an in-depth understanding of these problems in each country, make us your go-to solution to optimise your income derived in each territory.

Payment Integrations

The Problem

First world payments are developed for the western world and mostly inaccessible to the majority of Africans.

Customers

  • Most 1st world mobile payment products are dependent on credit / debit cards.
  • Financial inclusion is NOT only about giving people easier access to payment methods or remittance.

Financial Institutions

  • Card fraud reported to be an estimate of $ 21.84 Billion.
  • Unable to collect sufficient analytical information about sales made using current technology.
  • Banks in Africa are losing market share because they cannot deliver the same user experience as mobile money due to old or non existing infrastructure.
  • Financial Institutions are forced to spend millions on PCI and other certifications to secure card transactions and still they are losing billions due to card fraud.

Merchants

  • With more than 23 mobile money service providers in Africa, adding them all to your commerce platforms is time consuming and very costly.
  • Expanding globally takes months due to legislation and difficulty of collecting payments in different countries and regions.
  • Paying salaries or refunding customers can be difficult and multiple systems are needed.
  • Hardware cost are prohibitive for processing card transactions.
