Overview
Moment Holdings Limited provides a pan-African payments platform that connects businesses and consumers to online, in-person, and cash payment methods across Africa. Its single API and partner network give access to 200+ local payment methods in 40+ countries, enabling collect-and-payout flows in local currencies. How it works: developers integrate through Moment’s API to route payments across mobile money, cards, bank transfers, and cash, using the platform’s rails built with founding partners to support reliable local payments. How it differs: it offers extensive regional coverage with a wide range of local methods and a unified API, focusing on reaching underbanked customers and enabling enterprises to operate payment flows across Africa. Goal: to make it easier for businesses to accept and make payments anywhere in Africa and improve payment access for underbanked consumers.
