ABOUT US

African Payment Solutions provides a one-stop-shop for multinational merchants looking to sell and get paid online by consumers in Africa. With rock solid and dependable hosting and processing in the Amazon Cloud, more than 15 years experience with online payments in Africa, and links to more than 70 banks worldwide, African Payment Solutions is an easy choice for global eCommerce merchants.

Capitalising on the African eCommerce consumer boom is not easy. The banking industry is not geared for eCommerce. Credit card penetration is non-existent. Local alternative payment methods are unique to each country. Understanding people is difficult. Internet and payment infrastructure continuity is poor. Local compliance and banking requirements are onerous. Setup and time-to-cash for foreigners in our experience can take years.

African Payment Solutions bridges the gap for multinational eCommerce merchants entering the African market.

Go live as soon as 48 hours, through a single easy integration, reliably secure in the Amazon cloud, acquiring and repatriation of funds, everything taken care of.

Via a world class gateway infrastructure. Linked to local payment method aggregator accounts in key territories. With partners on the ground in-territory.
