Yuno and Flutterwave have entered into a strategic partnership aimed at facilitating seamless access to African payment methods for merchants operating across multiple markets.

As part of this collaboration, Yuno’s global financial infrastructure platform is now integrated with Flutterwave’s extensive network, allowing businesses to activate local payment options such as cards, mobile money, and bank transfers in key African countries through a unified API solution provided by Yuno.

This partnership enables merchants to gain access to markets including Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Rwanda, and South Africa, among others, all managed via Yuno’s centralised dashboard for operational and financial reconciliation purposes. By leveraging both companies’ strengths—Yuno’s unified global payments platform and Flutterwave’s local expertise, regulatory licenses, and broad payment method coverage—a streamlined entry into the African market is made possible.

Mitigating Market Fragmentation in Africa

The diverse nature of the African payments landscape often poses challenges for businesses looking to expand within the continent. From varying regulatory requirements and payment preferences to localized infrastructure, these factors traditionally necessitated separate contracts and custom technical setups.

With the integration of Yuno’s platform with Flutterwave’s extensive reach, the complexity is simplified into a single point of entry. This allows businesses to begin operations in one African market and expand across others without additional infrastructure or regulatory hurdles.

Juan Pablo Ortega, CEO and Founder of Yuno, highlighted that this partnership offers merchants a robust, scalable solution for entering the African market quickly and with confidence. Olugbenga Agboola, Founder and CEO of Flutterwave, emphasized that the collaboration streamlines access to African payment infrastructure, enabling international businesses to tap into these markets more efficiently.
