Yango, the food delivery and taxi service operated by Yango Group, has partnered with African payments company Flutterwave to enhance the security and convenience of digital payments for customers in Zambia.

The partnership allows Yango users to pay for meals and taxi rides using bank cards processed through Flutterwave’s payment infrastructure.

Zambia has seen growing adoption of digital commerce, particularly in food delivery and online services.

Integrating Flutterwave’s payment system aims to improve transaction security, reliability, and support Yango’s service expansion as more customers and restaurant partners adopt cashless payments.

Commenting on the partnership, Yango Zambia Country Head Kabanda Chewe said:

“Partnering with Flutterwave allows us to strengthen our digital payment capabilities while supporting Zambia’s transition toward a more digitally enabled economy. This is an important step in improving the overall experience for customers and helping restaurants grow through reliable digital transactions.”

Iyembi Nkanza, Country Head at Flutterwave, added:

“By integrating our payment infrastructure with Yango’s platform, we’re empowering Zambians with secure, convenient payment options that remove friction from everyday transactions. This is exactly the kind of innovation that drives financial inclusion forward.”

Yango has indicated it will continue to expand partnerships and technology solutions to support Zambia’s digital commerce landscape, while investing in services and initiatives that benefit local businesses and delivery partners.
