Why local acceptance

Turn African demand into revenue.

Africa isn't one payment market.

Customers in Lagos, Accra, Nairobi or Johannesburg don't necessarily pay the same way and forcing them into payment methods designed for another market creates friction.

Raiz Payins combines local acquiring, trade networks and connects your business to the local payment infrastructure customers already know and trust.

They pay locally.

You manage everything through Raiz.

One integration instead of one integration per country.

The old way

Expanding country by country

Entering a new African market can mean integrating another payment provider, opening another bank account, managing another currency and building another reconciliation process.

Collection to settlement

Your customers pay locally. You settle globally.

A customer shouldn't need dollars to buy from a global company. And a global company shouldn't need to manage African currencies just to serve African customers.

Built from the markets we serve

We didn't learn African payments from a spreadsheet.

Local currency collections
Supplier payments
Vehicle auction payments
China trade flows

We're building Raiz so they don't have to.

Raiz was built while solving real cross-border payment problems for businesses operating between Africa and the rest of the world.

From local currency collections to supplier payments, vehicle auction payments and China trade flows, we've seen how fragmented cross-border financial infrastructure becomes when businesses have to coordinate banks, FX providers, payment processors and settlement partners themselves.
