Tranzzo enables seamless market entry into Africa with adaptive Payment Orchestration Platform

Africa’s booming e-commerce needs local wallets, not cards. Tranzzo helps businesses adapt fast with payment orchestration built for each market.

LONDON, LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, August 19, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Tranzzo, a global payment orchestration platform, announces enhanced support for businesses entering the African market, offering a unified infrastructure tailored to the continent’s unique and fragmented payment landscape.

Over the past five years, Africa has emerged as one of the fastest-growing regions for e-commerce and digital services, with mobile wallets dominating consumer behavior. Yet many companies entering the region struggle due to a mismatch between Western-standard payment solutions and local payment habits — resulting in up to 70% transaction failure rates.

Most popular payment methods in Africa: What actually works

Africa doesn’t have a “universal” payment method. What dominates in Kenya might be barely used in South Africa. But there are clear local leaders – and launching without them makes no sense. Here's a summary of what works in key regions:

M-Pesa (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, partially Egypt)
Type: Mobile wallet
Audience: 50+ million users
Feature: Users can pay online or via USSD/code, without internet or smartphones
Mandatory for: Entry into East Africa

MTN MoMo (West and Central Africa – Ghana, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria, etc.)
Type: Mobile wallet from MTN operator
Feature: Very popular among unbanked users
Plus: Has API for online payments, easily connected via orchestration platforms

Airtel Money (Uganda, Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya, Rwanda, Niger)
Type: Mobile wallet from Airtel
Advantage: Strong rural market penetration
Risk: Infrastructure can be unstable, fallback is critical

Paystack, Flutterwave (Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa)
Type: Payment gateways with support for local methods
Use case: Card payments, bank transfers, QR, USSD
Note: Does not replace mobile wallets, but covers banked segments well

SnapScan, Zapper (South Africa)
Type: QR payments
Audience: Urban users, similar in behavior to European customers
Effective for: E-commerce, delivery, B2C services
