Why DusuPay Exists
Africa does not have a single way to pay.
It has 54 countries.
Each country has its own rules.
Its own banks.
Its own mobile money wallets.
Its own FX controls.
For a global company, this creates friction fast.
To operate across Africa, businesses used to open local entities, sign multiple contracts, integrate different payment providers, and manage FX manually. That approach is slow and expensive.
DusuPay exists to remove that complexity.
What Is DusuPay?
DusuPay is a global payment gateway built to help businesses accept and make payments across Africa using one integration.
Instead of dealing with separate payment systems in every country, DusuPay connects businesses to Africa’s local payment methods through a single infrastructure.
One integration.
Multiple countries.
Local payment methods.
How DusuPay Works
DusuPay keeps things simple.
A business integrates DusuPay once
Customers pay using their preferred local method
Payments are processed locally
Funds are converted automatically
Settlement happens globally in the chosen currency
This works for both directions.
Businesses can collect money from customers across Africa. They can also pay out to users, partners, or suppliers across multiple countries.
No need to build country by country.
Payment Methods and Country Coverage
Payments in Africa are local by nature.
Most customers do not use cards.
They use mobile money and bank transfers.
DusuPay supports:
Mobile money wallets
Local bank payments
Card payments where available
Supported countries:
Kenya
Uganda
Tanzania
Rwanda
Nigeria
South Africa
Guinea conakry
Ghana
Cameroon
Zambia
Zimbabwe
What matters most is coverage.
DusuPay is designed to support payments across multiple African countries, allowing businesses to scale without rebuilding their payment stack every time they enter a new market.
Who Is DusuPay For?
DusuPay is built for businesses that operate across borders.
Global Businesses Expanding into Africa
International companies often struggle when entering Africa.
Different regulations.
Different payment habits.
Different integration requirements.
DusuPay allows global businesses to accept payments from multiple African countries without setting up local entities or negotiating separate integrations.
This is ideal for:
SaaS companies
Digital platforms
Marketplaces
Subscription based services
African Businesses Serving Multiple Countries
Many African businesses are no longer local.
They sell regionally. They pay international suppliers. They receive money from abroad.
DusuPay helps African businesses collect payments from different countries and settle funds in the currency that works best for them.
High Risk and Complex Industries
Some industries are rejected by traditional gateways.
Gaming.
Forex.
Crypto.
Betting.
Digital asset platforms.
DusuPay is built with the infrastructure and risk controls needed to support these industries across Africa, where compliance and payment reliability matter more than branding.
Platforms and Fintech Companies
Some businesses do not need a checkout button.
They need infrastructure.
DusuPay works well for platforms that need to embed payments into their own systems and offer local payment options to users across different African countries.
Why Businesses Choose DusuPay
Businesses choose DusuPay for one reason.
It reduces friction.
One API instead of multiple integrations
Local payment methods handled centrally
FX and settlement simplified
Faster market entry across Africa
This allows teams to focus on growth instead of payments.
DusuPay vs Traditional Payment Gateways
Most traditional payment gateways are country focused.
They work well in one or two markets. Scaling across Africa means repeating the same work again and again.
DusuPay takes a different approach.
It is built as payment infrastructure for Africa, not just a gateway for a single country.
That difference matters when scale is the goal.
Real World Use Cases
A gaming company collecting payments from users in multiple African countries using mobile money.
A global platform paying out partners and vendors across Africa from one system.
A SaaS business charging African customers monthly without worrying about local integrations.
These are the problems DusuPay is designed to solve.
Getting Started with DusuPay
DusuPay is best suited for businesses with cross border payment needs.
The onboarding process focuses on understanding:
The business model
The countries involved
The payment flows
Once approved, integration is straightforward and designed to scale.
Final Thoughts
Africa’s payment landscape is not broken.
It is simply different.
DusuPay is built for global and African businesses that want to accept payments from multiple countries across Africa without fighting that reality.
If your business is cross border, DusuPay is built for you.
