How StoneFort Securities Uses DusuPay to Crack Africa’s Payment Challenge

StoneFort Securities (https://stonefortsecurities.com), a Dubai-based forex and financial securities trading company, is growing its footprint in Africa. But there’s a problem many global companies overlook: Africa doesn’t pay the way the rest of the world does.

In most Western markets, businesses rely on Visa, Mastercard, and international bank transfers. In Africa, those options barely scratch the surface. Only about 3–5 % of people use international cards. The rest stick to local payment methods that actually work for them.

That’s where DusuPay becomes more than a nice-to-have it becomes essential.

Africa’s Payment Reality

StoneFort Securities wants traders from Kenya to Cape Town to be able to deposit money into their accounts, trade forex and securities, and get paid out when they make profits.

But each country has its own preferred ways:

• Kenya: MPESA

• Uganda: MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money

• Nigeria: Local bank transfers

• South Africa: EFT and domestic bank payments

StoneFort could try to stitch together separate payment systems for each country. But that’s slow, expensive, and operationally painful.

Instead, they use DusuPay as a single gateway to solve these differences.

What DusuPay Actually Does for StoneFort Securities

1. Collect Payments Across Africa’s Biggest Economies

With DusuPay, StoneFort doesn’t have to tell African users to use Visa or Mastercard. Instead, traders pay with the things they already trust:

• MPESA in Kenya

• MTN/Airtel Money in Uganda

• Bank channels in Nigeria

• EFT in South Africa

This boosts conversions because people pay with local methods they’re comfortable with.

2. Send Payouts the Way Users Want

When a trader earns a profit, they want their money back quickly and in a way they can access.

DusuPay handles payouts to local accounts and wallets, so traders aren’t waiting days or weeks for international transfers that might cost more or get stuck due to regulatory issues.

3. Settle Funds Back to Dubai — in Bank or USDT

StoneFort needs a way to bring money back home. DusuPay gives them two major advantages:

• USDT (stablecoin) settlement for quick, low-cost cross-border movement

• Bank settlement to Dubai for traditional compliance and treasury management

This gives StoneFort flexibility to manage liquidity and compliance without relying solely on slow, expensive global bank rails.

What This Means for StoneFort

Here’s the real impact in plain language:

Higher Conversion

Traders aren’t forced to use cards that most African customers don’t have. They pay with what they already use every day.

Fewer Failed Payments

Local methods reduce declines and friction.

Faster Settlements

USDT gives StoneFort near-instant movement of funds across borders.

Better Trader Experience

Traders get payouts quickly in ways that make sense in their home country.

All of this translates to more active traders, stronger customer loyalty, and improved revenue performance.

The Bigger Picture

Africa isn’t a single market. It’s 54 very different payment ecosystems. Trying to serve all of them with one set of Western payment rails simply doesn’t work.

StoneFort Securities saw that early and chose DusuPay as the bridge a solution that lets them:

• Accept payments from local African channels

• Pay traders in the formats those traders trust

• Settle funds efficiently back in Dubai

If you’re operating a global fintech or trading business and trying to scale into Africa, solving payments isn’t optional it’s make-or-break.
