W&F Q4 2024

28 | Wealth & Finance Q4 2024 Best Bank Card Processing & ePayment Solutions Company 2024 - West Africa African Payment Gateway was established in Dakar, Senegal, in January 2018 by the duo of Oumar Ndao and Mbaye Seck Diop, with the latter today serving as the business’ CEO and leveraging his vast technology and managerial experience. In the almost seven years since first opening its doors, the company has gone on to position itself as a leading payment service provider (PSP) and transactional hub, facilitating a range of financial transactions throughout its home region of West Africa and beyond across the wider continent. Determined to create measurable value by facilitating strong connections between many of the premier financial players across Africa, African Payment Gateway’s services range from debit, credit, and prepaid card processing solutions through to the development of purpose-built technology for the likes of opening bank accounts and taking out insurance policies. All of the services delivered are done so in a manner which accurately reflects the company’s core values of authenticity, integrity, transparency, resilience, and accountability. Having created bank card processing and digital payment solutions that work with such giants of the industry as GIM-Visa, GIMMasterCard, as well as the aforementioned GIM-UEMOA, African Payment Gateway’s main area of activity lies in issuing payment means to its customers across the likes of microfinance institutions, postal banks, and ATMs, as well as those who make use of the services of mobile money operators across the region. The four primary functions of African Payment Gateway can therefore be seen as issuance, acquisition, routing, and deployment. Aiding the company in all four of these areas is its combination of a card and a mobile app, which allows its customers to debt their accounts directly, meaning they can easily recharge their cards and access a variety of services using them – from digital transfers and direct payments to online purchases. Yet another area of speciality for this fintech company involves helping companies to adopt payment solutions for their customers using QR and barcode scanning. This is something that has already been rolled out in the likes of supermarkets and pharmacies throughout West Africa and offers a more convenient and secure way of fostering the transaction of funds from a customer to a business – offering a great alternative to standard business finance. At the heart of African Payment Gateway is a multidisciplinary team of dynamic and dedicated young professionals, individuals whose passion about the development of West Africa is on display across the board and channelled into this suite of exemplary solutions. This company is always seeking to expand its team with talented and motivated people who can help it uphold its values and realise its vision. This is why African Payment Gateway’s recruitment process is open-ended and it takes online applications all-year round. Even if the right job for an applicant is not available there and then, the form that they complete – which can be found on the company’s website listed at the bottom of the page – remains in the system forever. Thus, should a position become available further down the line, African Payment Gateway will automatically start the ball rolling on the recruitment process, reading and reviewing the applications it has saved so as to find the ideal candidate. In essence, this unique approach both reflects and embodies African Payment Gateway’s motto of ‘Today, Tomorrow, Together’– something it is only set to double down on as we move into 2025. Recognised as the Best Bank Card Processing & ePayment Solutions Company 2024 - West Africa, African Payment Gateway is ushering in the future of payment solutions across this region, and we wish it the best of luck for both the year ahead and beyond into the bright future it has built for itself.
