Unlimit expands operations in Africa with Kenya launch
By Delisha Fernandes
Unlimit, a FinTech and payment solutions company, announced its entry into the Kenyan market and has received the Central Bank of Kenya licence, marking a significant milestone in its ongoing expansion throughout Africa.
This strategic move follows Unlimit’s recent acquisition of the Central Bank of Nigeria licence, solidifying the company’s official recognition as a provider of payment solutions within the region.
As part of its strategic expansion, Unlimit is committed to delivering an unparalleled payment experience by integrating internationally acclaimed payment best practices, industry-leading security protocols, comprehensive merchant analytics, and a customer-friendly interface.
By offering diverse payment solutions, Unlimit will cater to the preferences and support the unique requirements of local enterprises in Kenya. This milestone demonstrates Unlimit’s dedication to advancing the payment landscape in Africa and empowering businesses with cutting-edge payment solutions.
Trevor Goott, Director for Africa and India at Unlimit said, “It gives me great pleasure to bring on board Kenya as our second African country, following the recent announcement of the awarding of our Nigerian licence. We are also pleased to add Kenya to our global portfolio for foreign merchants seeking access to the Kenyan market. The high demand from our international merchants to establish local operations in Kenya has further motivated us to enter the market. Also, given its strategic location in East Africa, Kenya is an ideal hub for expanding our regional operations.”
Commenting on the expansion, Kirill Evstratov, CEO Unlimit, said, “We have ambitious plans for Kenya and East Africa and are looking forward to supporting local businesses on their expansion goals. For 14 years, we have successfully been aiding companies worldwide to enter new markets and go beyond borders, strengthening their business outreach and expanding their customer base. ”
