Yuno and Onafriq Join Forces to Simplify African Payment Access

Yuno, the global financial infrastructure platform, has announced a strategic partnership with Onafriq, a leading Pan-African payments network. This integration will give merchants worldwide access to Africa’s most expansive payment ecosystem through Yuno’s single API.

Unlocking a Continent of Opportunity

Africa represents a significant growth frontier for businesses globally. However, the fragmented nature of local payment rails has historically posed a major challenge. With this partnership, Yuno clients can now instantly connect to Onafriq’s network spanning 43 African markets – including nearly 1 billion mobile wallets, 500 million bank accounts, and 2,000 cross-border payment corridors.

Comprehensive Payment Solutions in One Place

Onafriq’s infrastructure covers the entire payment lifecycle, from real-time disbursements to card issuance and FX treasury management. This means Yuno merchants can:

• Pay out to mobile wallets, bank accounts, or cash pickup points
• Accept payments across multiple channels
• Manage compliance through a single framework

“Africa represents one of the most exciting growth opportunities in global commerce, and yet too many businesses are locked out by outdated payment infrastructure,” said Juan Pablo Ortega, Co-Founder and CEO of Yuno. “By bringing Onafriq’s unmatched network into our platform, we’re giving clients a reliable path to scale across the continent with confidence.”

Expanding Financial Inclusion Across Africa

For Onafriq, this partnership extends their reach to new global merchant segments while reinforcing their mission of making borders less relevant in digital commerce. “Africa’s payment landscape has always been dynamic – it needed infrastructure that could match its pace,” said Dare Okoudjou, CEO of Onafriq. “Through a single connection, businesses can now access consumers and opportunities across the continent more seamlessly than ever before.”

The integration is currently live in Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Cameroon, Cote D’Ivoire, and Uganda, with plans to expand further. Yuno clients can immediately access Onafriq’s capabilities through their existing dashboard without needing additional contracts or integrations.
