PawaPay

PawaPay is a payments company that provides mobile payment solutions to African consumers or businesses. The company takes the technical integrations from telecom operators like AirtelTigo, Econet, MTN, Safaricom, Orange, and Vodafone and collapses them into one API for businesses. Founded in 2020, pawaPay is focused on the mobile money infrastructure provided by telecommunications companies (telco) in Africa. Each telco in each country provides its own unique mobile money product, which makes the mobile money infrastructure as a whole - across borders and telcos - highly fragmented and opaque. For merchants, this fragmentation means that it is unnecessarily expensive to use and frustratingly unstable. Through pawaPay’s simple API, merchants can access more than 300 million customers in more than ten markets and enjoy seamless, transparent, and highly reliable payments.
