About
Payments Afrika news is a trade site on payments and fintech across the African continent, written in English and updated several times a week.
Sections Stories are filed under Payments, E-Commerce, Mobile, Banking, Card, ATM and Company, so a reader can jump straight to card acquiring or ATM infrastructure without wading through general fintech. The site also invites readers to contribute pieces.
Recent topics Four headlines show the range in mid-October 2026: Absa and Thunes deepening an alliance to launch cross-border payments across Africa (16 October), Kora adding stablecoin payments for African merchants through one rail (15 October), Mukuru launching an everyday transactional account in South Africa (14 October), and SBV Services marking its 40th anniversary (13 October).
Why payments people read it Africa is fragmented by currency, regulator and rail, and this is a compact way to watch who partners with whom. PSPs planning pan-African acceptance, merchants looking at stablecoin or local-currency payout options and remittance teams can follow licences, launches and alliances in one place.
Payments angle
African cross-border payments, stablecoin rails, mobile money-style accounts and bank-fintech alliances, from the merchant and PSP side.
