AfricaPay is a nine-year-old Fintech Premier consulting firm, solutions provider and applications development company that operates mainly within the banking industry to provide consultancy, business advisory, applications development, project management and training services. We specialise in the cards, credit and payments field with several years of experience working with banks, network associations and business partners. It was created by two ex- bankers who realized that payments were complex and that many financial institutions struggled to make payments profitable in Africa. Having trawled through Africa, We firmly believe in alleviating poverty in Africa by laying out the payments infrastructure for entrepreneurs to flourish. Making payments profitable for Banks and Financial Institutions is key for that investment in infrastructure to be deployed.
