The need for businesses and individuals to transact across regions, especially at a time when mobile money is burgeoning at increasing rates on the continent, has spurred MFS Africa and EziPay to form a partnership to ease remittances across Africa.

EziPay is an award-winning, intra-African, cross-border remittances and digital wallet company determined to make financial transactions seamless.

On its part, MFS Africa is the continent’s leading digital payments gateway, created to bring last-mile connectivity for remittances and collections to and from mobile money wallets and bank accounts on the continent.

“At MFS Africa, it has always been important to us to help businesses of all sizes scale by building a network hub and partner ecosystem that shares these values.

“Partnering with EziPay, an organisation that is known for providing digital wallets for inward and outward remittance to MSMEs, SMEs and individuals across continents, made complete sense to enable further the interoperability we aim to achieve through our acquisitions and partnerships,” the chief executive of MFS Africa, Mr Dare Okoudjou, said.

“As Africa’s mobile money landscape continues to evolve, we hope that entrepreneurs will be able to take their businesses to the next level through partnerships like these.

“Ultimately, we hope that it will lead to not only a more connected Africa but also a more connected world,” he added.

Also speaking, the chief executive of EziPay, Mr Amit Gaur, said, “With EziPay and MFS Africa joining hands to solve cross-continent remittances to Africa from Asia, Europe, the UK and the USA, remittances for goods, services, school fees, medical transfers, business transfers, family maintenance allowances, and P2P transfers will be enabled.

“I firmly believe that with the MFS Africa partnership, our customers will have instant remittances to bank accounts and wallets across Africa for our ever-growing customer base.”

EziPay, which has a presence in 14 African countries, currently has a global user base of over 300,000,  including Africans in the diaspora as well as those in the local ex-pat community who utilise EziPay’s digital wallets for inward and outward remittances.  The organisation’s global wallet Mauritius offering currently has over 90+ countries’ payout corridors.

MFS Africa has enabled more possibilities, more connections and more interoperability for individuals and businesses alike. The organisation’s full-service digital payments network connects over 400 million mobile money wallets, over 200 million bank accounts, and over 120,000 agents in Nigeria.
