Award-winning, intra-African, cross-border remittances and digital wallet company EziPay, has partnered with MFS Africa, the continent’s leading digital payments gateway, to bring last-mile connectivity for remittances and collections to and from mobile money wallets and bank accounts in Africa.
The partnership comes at a time when mobile money is burgeoning at increasing rates in Africa, with businesses and individuals requiring solutions that allow them to transact across regions.
In a statement shared with Technext, Dare Okoudjou, Founder and CEO at MFS Africa, explained that the partnership is in line with the company’s goal to help businesses of all sizes, and it would help achieve the interoperability it aims for.
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 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,” Dare Okoudjou said.
Ezipay aims to solve cross-continent remittance issues
EziPay, which has a presence in 14 African countries, currently has a global user base of over 300 000, including Africans in the diaspora and those in the local expat community who utilise its digital wallets for inward and outward remittances. The organisation’s global wallet Mauritius offering is currently live, with over 90+ countries’ payout corridors.
Amit Gaur, Co-Founder and CEO at EziPay, believes that this partnership would allow customers to have instant remittances for goods, services, family allowances, P2P transfers and more.
“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 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.
“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,” concludes Okoudjou.
