Introducing Paysorta: Payment Infrastructure Built for Africa
Accept payments, disburse payouts, and manage foreign exchange across 40+ African markets — through one API, built for the continent's speed.
Today we're launching Paysorta, our payments infrastructure for African businesses. One integration gives you every market, every currency, and every payment method from Lagos to Nairobi to Cape Town.
Paysorta already moves over $4.2 billion in annual volume for more than 12,000 businesses — and today it opens to everyone.
Everything payments, one API
Accept value however your customers hold it: cards, bank transfers, USSD, mobile money, and QR codes across 40+ African markets. Payouts land in bank accounts, mobile wallets, and cards in about a second on average — thousands of recipients in a single API call.
Multi-currency balances convert and hold 15+ African currencies at mid-market rates with no hidden spreads, settling automatically in your preferred currency.
Security you don't have to think about
Every transaction is scored in real time by machine-learning fraud detection, with 3DS2 authentication, device fingerprinting, and velocity rules built in. The platform is PCI DSS Level 1 and ISO 27001 certified, holding a 99.99% uptime SLA.
We're not a global product ported to Africa — every integration, routing fallback, and network optimization was built ground-up for African banks, telcos, and mobile networks.
