07 Jun Simple Online African Payment Solutions for Global eCommerce Companies

Posted at 11:22h

Some interesting questions are asked in the build up to Digital Payments Africa this year.  The dynamics that are present in the African payments market are leapfrogging the global trends as a result of simple implementations that work.  They may not have the bells and whistles of the developed markets like Europe, but Africans have worked out how to design, implement and get ubiquitous adoption for low tech solutions.  

These African mobile money methods have had massive traction for example in Kenya where more than half the population can transact with M-Pesa and it took only a few years for it to become the de facto payment method.  

Whilst the developed world is wrestling with things like NFC, mobile wallets, apps and regulating and setting standards, African is moving rapidly towards interoperability and rapidly growing market penetration of mobile payment methods.  African Payment Solutions payment gateway is on a globally stable infrastructure, hosted in the Amazon cloud and is linked for online payment in many African countries like Kenya, Rwanda, Nigeria, Mozambique, Mauritius, Namibia and South Africa.

Multinationals can now link to African Payment Solutions and enjoy a systematic rollout of connectivity to primary African online payment methods throughout Sub-Saharan Africa
