Connecting Africa to the global digital Economy.

By making African payments as simple as making a phonecall, We make borders matter less.

Onafriq is a pan-African payments company which enables interoperable cross-border and domestic digital payments. We boast a multi-cultural, multi-talented, agile team from over 30 different nations that is driven to create access to a borderless world - for millions of Africans and African businesses.

It's no secret that mobile money has revolutionised access to certain financial services in Africa and much of the rest of the world. Onafriq has been driving the next step in this revolution since its founding - to bring more possibilities, more connections, more interoperability by connecting mobile money user to each other, bank accounts, MTOs, enterprises and a world of new possibilities.

We have been at the forefront of increasing digital flows not only within Africa but also flows to Africa.

GOVERNANCE AND COMPLIANCE

At Onafriq, we have a compliance culture driven and supported by the board, which is cascaded in terms of what we do as a business. The board has a zero tolerance for non-compliance and supports the compliance department fully in the execution of its duties.

As a business, we take a proactive approach to compliance by scanning the environment for emerging trends in the payment space and how this may affect our partners, and Onafriq as an organisation. With this approach, we can effectively address any emerging risks within the confines of local and international law and best practice.

Identifying inefficiencies ahead of time is something we take pride in. We have a culture of regular audits that help identify shortcomings within our policies or processes and we take corrective action immediately. This is a key aspect of ensuring that our compliance processes are evolved and effective.

LICENCES

Recent changes in payment regulation across the African continent have made it mandatory for entities operating payment systems to obtain a license from the relevant regulatory body. We have been pro-active in our engagements with regulators across the jurisdictions where we operate, and are currently licenced in Mauritius, Ghana, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Tanzania – as well as in the United Kingdom.
