Onafriq Payments Network

Onafriq is a pan‑African digital payments network designed to unify fragmented payment systems across mobile wallets, bank accounts, and card rails in Africa — effectively making cross‑border and domestic payments simpler for businesses and platforms. Its cloud‑based API platform offers comprehensive services like collections, disbursements, prepaid card issuance, and agent banking, all accessible through a single integration point, eliminating the need to manage multiple disparate payment connections. What sets Onafriq apart is its wide reach — connecting up to 1 billion mobile wallets and hundreds of millions of bank accounts across more than 40 markets — and its ability to harmonise real-time payments across different systems at scale. The platform’s support for treasury services and multi‑currency settlement also makes it attractive for enterprises looking to operate in multiple jurisdictions. However, the offering is clearly specialised for business and developer use; there’s no visible in‑app marketplace or consumer‑centric mini apps, and pricing details aren’t publicly disclosed, which may make initial evaluation harder for smaller organisations.
