The countries being served include Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, Kenya, Cameroon, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Côte d’Ivoire, Zambia, Madagascar, Malawi, Congo, Niger, Benin and many more.
PaySii is a digital remittance platform known for its ultra-competitive rates and instant mobile-to-mobile money transfers, helping migrant communities around the globe send money to their loved ones with ease.

Through this partnership, we are not only connecting our network and Africa to the wider world, but we also further our mission to lower the cost of digital payments’.
