Originally founded as BitPesa in 2013 in Nairobi, Kenya, the company began as a platform using blockchain technology to facilitate lower-cost B2B payments into and out of Africa. Over the years, it expanded its services beyond crypto and its geographical reach. In 2019, the company rebranded to AZA Group (operating as AZA Finance) to reflect its broader mission of providing a full suite of treasury and payment solutions, including currency exchange and settlement, for businesses operating in Africa and other emerging markets globally.
