The continent’s top digital payment gateway, MFS Africa, has joined with award-winning intra-African, cross-border remittances and digital wallet provider EziPay to provide last mile connectivity for payments to and from mobile money wallets and bank accounts throughout Africa.
The agreement comes at a time when mobile money is expanding at an accelerating rate throughout the continent, necessitating solutions that enable cross-border transactions for both businesses and individuals.
“At MFS Africa, it has always been important to us to help businesses of all sizes scale by building a network hub and partner ecosystem that shares these same values. Partnering with EziPay, an organisation that is known for providing digital wallets for inward and outward remittance to MSMEs, SMEs and individuals across continents, made complete sense to further enable the interoperability we aim to achieve through our acquisitions and partnerships,” says Dare Okoudjou, Founder and CEO at MFS Africa.
EziPay, which operates in 14 African nations, has more than 300,000 users worldwide, including both local expats and Africans in the diaspora who use the company’s digital wallets for both inbound and outbound remittances.
The company’s worldwide wallet Mauritius service is currently operational and has payout corridors in more than 90 countries.
Amit Gaur, Co-Founder and CEO at EziPay, says, “With EziPay and MFS Africa joining hands to solve cross continent remittances to Africa from Asia, Europe, the UK and the USA, remittances for goods, services, school fees, medical transfers, business transfers, family maintenance allowances, and P2P transfers will be enabled. I firmly believe that with the MFS Africa partnership, our customers will have instant remittances to bank accounts and wallets across Africa for our ever growing customer base.”
MFS Africa has enabled more possibilities, more connections and more interoperability for individuals and businesses alike.
The organisation’s full-service digital payments network connects over 400 million mobile money wallets, over 200 million bank accounts, and over 120,000 agents in Nigeria.
“As Africa’s mobile money landscape continues to evolve, we hope that entrepreneurs will be able to take their businesses to the next level through partnerships like these. Ultimately, we hope that it will lead to not only a more connected Africa, but also a more connected world,” concludes Okoudjou.
