By Gloria Methri

African digital wallet company EziPay has partnered with digital payments gateway MFS Africa, to bring last-mile connectivity for remittances and collections to and from mobile wallets and bank accounts.

EziPay, which has a presence in 14 African countries, has a global user base of over 300 000. These include Africans in the diaspora as well as the local ex-pat community which uses EziPay wallets for inward and outward remittances. The company’s global wallet Mauritius offering is currently live with over 90+ countries’ payout corridors.

“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 further enable the interoperability we aim to achieve through our acquisitions and partnerships,” said Dare Okoudjou, Founder and CEO at MFS Africa.

Amit Gaur, Co-Founder, and CEO at EziPay added, “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.”

MFS Africa has enabled more possibilities, connections, and interoperability for individuals and businesses. The company’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.

“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,” concluded Okoudjou.
