Last week in Johannesburg, we met with regulators from Kenya, South Africa & Ghana to explore what stablecoin adoption could mean for Africa. Faster settlements, lower costs & stronger public-private collaboration = a future where cross-border payments just work.

Using stablecoins like USDC, we’re simplifying cross-border settlements, powering real-time payouts, and streamlining treasury management. Launching first in Cameroon, South Africa & the DRC, and this is just the start. Find out more here: loom.ly/0BNFc9w

We’ve partnered with Conduit to bring faster, borderless payments to life. 🌍

As more people in the DRC get online, the demand for quick, safe and reliable ways to send money grows. You can feel the momentum in the data and in the behaviour. This is why the DRC is not just another corridor for us. It is one of the most active and vital on the continent.

The DRC is one of the clearest signals of where African payments are heading. A population of more than 106 million, and millions already using mobile money tell a simple story: People are choosing what works, and the shift toward digital is accelerating. 🧵

We’re hiring. If you’re a senior engineer who enjoys untangling complex payment flows and building systems that work reliably at scale, this might be your kind of challenge. We’re looking for you. Apply now: loom.ly/bgwS_qM

ICYMI, this Business Day Spotlight episode with our founder and CEO, @dokoudjou, is too good to miss. He opens up about where we're headed and why the next chapter of payments in Africa feels bigger than anything we've seen before. Take a listen here: loom.ly/CrasXrI

Happy New Year! 2026 begins with fresh momentum and room for new ideas to take shape. Here’s to unlocking even more in 2026.

Wishing you and yours a merry Christmas. May today give you time with the people who matter and leave you with a clear sense of direction for the year to come. From all of us at Onafriq, thank you for helping us build something bigger than borders.

Nairobi played games and swapped gifts. South Africa headed out on a game drive. Lagos danced the night away. Tulsa shared lunch and went gaming. 15 years in and still moving forward. Take a look at how our teams marked the moment.

Different cities. Different vibes. One shared milestone. We closed out 2025 by celebrating the people behind the work and a big milestone for Onafriq turning 15. Across our teams, the celebrations reflected who we are and how we show up for one another.
