Electronic payments firm Pesapal has been accredited by the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) as a payments solutions provider, while in Tanzania, it has received a service licence.

The fintech company says the regulatory approvals will enable it to offer e-commerce services seamlessly as it accelerates innovation in digital payments.

The Tanzania Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA) issued the firm with a National Application Service Licence, which allows it to operate in the country.

“We are excited about the regulatory approvals. This demonstrates our commitment and ambition to impact the online payments ecosystem. I believe this will enable the e-commerce businesses to grow and expand further in East Africa,” said Pesapal chief executive officer Mark Mwongela.

Pesapal is a payment gateway enabling customers to use their credit cards, banks and mobile networks to settle bills from one portal.

“We are investing in Tanzania to reshape the future of commerce. For merchants, digital payments mean reducing costs associated with handling and losing cash, and broadening their customer base as more and more people move away from cash,” said Ms Bupe Mwakalundwa, Pesapal Tanzania country manager.

“This marks another milestone in the long history we as Maersk have in serving Kenya, through Mombasa and Lamu, ensuring that importers and exporters in Eastern Africa are able to connect their cargo to all global markets,” he said.
Yesterday, Kenya Ports Authority head of corporate affairs Bernard Osero confirmed that they were expecting the fifth ship at the Lamu port on Saturday since its operationalisation in May.
Lamu port is set to play a crucial role not only in addressing global logistical needs.
