Global Payments Platform Unlocks Africa-wide Access for International Merchants
Yuno, the global financial infrastructure platform, announced a strategic partnership with Onafriq to bring Africa’s most expansive payments infrastructure to merchants worldwide.
Through this integration, Yuno’s clients gain instant access to Onafriq’s network spanning 43 African markets, nearly 1 billion mobile wallets, 500 million bank accounts, and 2,000 cross-border payment corridors, all through Yuno’s single, developer-friendly API.
As businesses increasingly look to Africa as a high-growth frontier, the partnership addresses one of the most persistent friction points in cross-border commerce: the complexity of connecting to fragmented, local payment rails across dozens of markets. By combining Yuno’s payment infrastructure capabilities with Onafriq’s deep-rooted African network, the two companies aim to dramatically reduce the time and technical overhead required for merchants to go live and scale across the continent.
“Africa represents one of the most exciting growth opportunities in global commerce, and yet too many merchants are still locked out by payment infrastructure that wasn’t built for scale. Our partnership with Onafriq changes that,” said Juan Pablo Ortega, Co-Founder and CEO, Yuno. “By bringing their unmatched African network into our infrastructure layer, we’re giving our clients a single path to a continent-wide ecosystem with the reliability, compliance, and local depth they need to grow with confidence.”
