NAIROBI, Kenya – May 2026 – African fintech platform Paymenta has officially announced an ambitious Pan-African expansion strategy under the leadership of DSSC Global, positioning itself as a next-generation digital financial ecosystem built to accelerate financial inclusion across the continent.
Operating under the slogan “Built in Africa, Empowering Africa,” Paymenta says its mission is to simplify digital payments, business transactions, and financial services while empowering communities, entrepreneurs, SMEs, and underserved populations through accessible technology-driven solutions.
The company is currently launching operations in Kenya and Tanzania, while already maintaining active operations in South Africa through the DSSC ecosystem and infrastructure.
According to company leadership, Paymenta aims to establish itself as one of Africa’s leading digital financial brands over the coming years by building scalable infrastructure tailored specifically for African markets and realities.
Focus on Financial Inclusion
Paymenta says its expansion is guided by a central philosophy:
“Helping people, so they can help others.”
The company believes financial technology should go beyond facilitating transactions and instead create economic opportunities for individuals, informal traders, startups, and businesses operating across Africa’s rapidly growing digital economy.
Its platform offers a broad range of services designed to support both consumers and businesses, including:
- Secure eWallet solutions
- Airtime and utility bill payments
- Business-to-business transaction systems
- Digital voucher technologies
- Point-of-sale solutions for retail and informal traders
- Smart ATM technology
- Cryptocurrency trading and wallet services
- Marketplace integration solutions
- KYC and AML compliance technologies
- Integrated Drop Safe cash management systems
- Strategic Kenya Partnership
A major milestone in the Kenyan rollout is Paymenta’s strategic relationship with Co-operative Bank of Kenya, which is supporting the platform through banking infrastructure and licensing capabilities.
The partnership is expected to strengthen Paymenta’s compliance framework while enhancing trust, security, and regulatory alignment within Kenya’s fast-evolving fintech sector.
DSSC Global says it continues to invest heavily in merchant enablement, remittance systems, digital payment infrastructure, and financial accessibility technologies aimed at both urban and underserved rural communities across Africa.
“Our goal is not simply to launch another payment platform,” a DSSC Global spokesperson said. “We are building a financial ecosystem created by Africans, for Africans, one that empowers communities, supports businesses, and drives economic participation across borders.”
Africa’s Growing Digital Economy
Paymenta’s expansion comes at a time when Africa is experiencing rapid digital and fintech growth, driven by increased mobile penetration, expanding internet access, and rising demand for digital financial services.
The company says its technology-first model combines innovation, security, compliance, and accessibility to help businesses and consumers transact seamlessly across multiple markets and channels.
As competition intensifies within Africa’s fintech space, Paymenta’s Pan-African strategy signals growing confidence in locally developed financial technologies capable of serving the continent’s unique economic and social needs.
