Yuno has announced a partnership with Flutterwave to simplify payment access for businesses entering African markets.
Through a single API integration, Yuno merchants can now enable Flutterwave’s local payment options, including cards, mobile money and bank transfers, across markets such as Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Rwanda and South Africa.
The integration removes the need for multiple local integrations and contracts, allowing merchants to manage payments through a centralised Yuno dashboard for operations and reconciliation.
The companies said the aim is to reduce the complexity businesses face when operating across Africa’s fragmented payments landscape, while improving access to local payment infrastructure and regulatory coverage.
“Expanding into Africa has been a complex and resource-intensive challenge for many global businesses,”
said Juan Pablo Ortega, CEO and Founder of Yuno.
“By partnering with Flutterwave, we’re giving our merchants a single, scalable solution to access Africa’s dynamic markets faster and with much less friction. This partnership empowers businesses to unlock new growth opportunities on the continent with the confidence that their payments infrastructure is robust and fully compliant.”
Flutterwave said the collaboration builds on its existing payment infrastructure and regulatory presence across the continent.
“Africa’s payment landscape is incredibly vibrant but historically fragmented,”
said Olugbenga “GB” Agboola, Founder and CEO, Flutterwave.
“We’ve spent years doing the heavy lifting, integrating hundreds of local payment methods and securing licenses across the continent to build a single payment superhighway.”
The companies said the partnership aims to support cross-border expansion into African markets by reducing technical and operational barriers for global merchants.
