Yuno Expands Into Africa Through Partnership with Onafriq

Yuno, a global financial infrastructure platform, has announced a strategic partnership with Onafriq, the leading Pan-African payments network. This integration provides Yuno’s clients with access to Onafriq’s extensive network spanning 43 African markets, including nearly 1 billion mobile wallets and 500 million bank accounts.

Simplifying Cross-Border Payments for Global Merchants

The partnership addresses a key challenge in cross-border commerce: the complexity of connecting to fragmented payment systems across multiple African countries. By combining Yuno’s infrastructure with Onafriq’s local expertise, merchants can now access a continent-wide ecosystem through a single API.

“Africa represents one of the most exciting growth opportunities in global commerce,” said Juan Pablo Ortega, Co-Founder and CEO of Yuno. “By bringing Onafriq’s network into our infrastructure layer, we’re giving clients a reliable, compliant path to scale across the continent.”

Comprehensive Payment Capabilities

The integration supports the full payment lifecycle, including:

  • Real-time disbursements and collections
  • Omnichannel payment processing
  • Card issuance
  • Treasury management
  • Stablecoin settlement

Merchants can now pay out to mobile wallets, bank accounts, or cash pickup points while accepting payments across various channels—all without managing multiple integrations.

Expanding Access Across Africa

The partnership is part of Yuno’s broader strategy to build a global platform connecting merchants to every payment method worldwide. Following successful expansion in the Middle East and Asia, Africa represents a key growth area for the company.

For Onafriq, this integration extends its reach to new segments of global merchants seeking streamlined access to African markets.

“Africa’s payment landscape has always had momentum,” said Dare Okoudjou, CEO of Onafriq. “This partnership provides the right infrastructure to match that pace, enabling seamless transactions across borders.”

The integration is currently live in Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, Cameroon, Cote D’Ivoire, and Uganda, with plans for further expansion across Africa.
