Taifa Merchants · for business
Collect and pay out across Africa.
Accept payments through mobile money, the major card schemes and direct bank transfer — then move that money out just as easily, with instant payouts and a single dashboard across every market you operate in.
Channels
Give customers their preferred way to pay
Every channel is part of the same integration, so adding a network or a market later is a setting rather than a project.

What you get
Everything on one account
Accept everywhere
One integration covers mobile money, the major card schemes and direct bank transfer, with no separate contract per network.
Instant payouts
Disburse to wallets, cards or bank accounts without waiting on a rolling settlement cycle to release your funds.
Collection and disbursement
The same account handles money in and money out, so your balance and reconciliation stay in one place.
One dashboard
Track collections, payouts and balances across every market and channel, with a record of each transaction as it settles.
Encrypted and monitored
Transactions are encrypted in transit and at rest, and watched for fraud and anomalies as they move.
Direct local rails
Connections sit directly on each market’s own rails, which means fewer intermediaries between your customer and your account.
For developers
A REST API, not a project plan.
Pull your keys from the dashboard, build against the sandbox, and switch to live when you are ready. Collections and payouts follow the same shape across every network, so learning one market teaches you the rest.
