African Payment Solutions
Taking global businesses into Africa.
Africa represents enormous opportunity, but doing business across its markets is complex: different payment methods, currencies, banking systems, regulations and infrastructure in every country. African Payment Solutions bridges that gap. We combine payments expertise, local market knowledge and our own technology to make African commerce simpler.
Africa is the opportunity. Complexity is the challenge.
Africa is a large, fast-growing and diverse market. For multinational eCommerce businesses, the challenge is not simply getting paid. It is navigating fragmented payment infrastructure, multiple currencies, local payment preferences and the practical realities of operating across many countries at once.
That is where we come in.
One continent. Many markets. No single way to pay.
Who we are
We know Africa. We know payments.
We are payments entrepreneurs with decades of experience across the UK, Europe and Africa. We have built payment businesses before. We understand merchants, payment infrastructure, banking relationships and the realities of operating in African markets. And we are building the next generation of payment infrastructure through LekkaPay.

In 2026 we went live with our own bespoke, purpose-built payment gateway, together with ISO and payment facilitator (PayFac) facilities. Our focus is on large merchants, aggregators, platforms and multi-merchant operators.
We have also developed relationships and opportunities across utilities, travel and tourism, retail, iGaming and cross-border commerce.

Powered by LekkaPay
The technology behind African Payment Solutions.
LekkaPay is our proprietary, cloud-based payment technology platform. It provides the infrastructure that lets us connect merchants to payment methods and payment infrastructure across African markets. It is built and maintained by our own technical team.
Looking ahead
Building the future of African commerce.
Our vision extends beyond payment acceptance. We are exploring a more connected financial infrastructure for businesses operating across Africa, bringing together payments, currencies, cross-border movement, digital currencies, AI and intelligent financial services.
The future of African payments will be more connected, more intelligent and more borderless.
Let's make Africa easier.
Whether you are expanding into Africa, looking for better payment infrastructure or exploring a strategic partnership, we would like to talk. We are not a stock-standard switch. We wrap ourselves around our large multi-merchant customers, bringing problem-solving people and world-class technology so they can serve their own merchants and customers more effectively.
