Nsano Expands Operations to Rwanda, Obtains Crucial Payment Authorizations in East Africa
Nsano Ltd, a leading Pan-African fintech company, has made a significant stride in its expansion journey by launching its East Africa regional office in Rwanda. This move marks a strategic expansion for the Ghanaian-based company, positioning it to grow its presence in the East African fintech market [1].
Expansion into Rwanda
June 2025 saw Nsano Ltd establish its East African presence in Rwanda, a country known for its rapid technological growth. The Group CEO of Nsano, Priscilla Hazel, expressed her excitement about this development, noting that it presents an excellent opportunity to support the growth of customers across the region [2].
Partnership with AFS
In recent months, Nsano has gained significant attention, particularly after announcing a partnership with AFS. This partnership aims to revolutionize card payments across the continent, integrating advanced financial service offerings into Nsano’s existing payment solutions [3]. This strategic alliance is part of Nsano's broader strategy to expand and diversify its products and services.
Scaling Operations in East Africa
Initially, Nsano focused on digital payment solutions and financial technology products in Ghana. With its expansion into East African countries, it is now scaling up bulk units and dealer margins, signaling its readiness to grow the company’s regional footprint and dealer network [1].
Future Goals in East Africa
Nsano's future goals in East Africa are centered around expanding its fintech offerings, enhancing payment infrastructure, and growing its market presence. The company plans to achieve this by offering bigger margins to dealers and expanding their customer base by leveraging technology innovations in payments and card services [1][3].
In summary, Nsano's expansion into Rwanda and its strategic partnership with AFS are significant steps towards its ambition to become Africa’s leading digital payment processor. By combining local expansion with technology integration, Nsano is positioning itself to establish a strong foothold in the East African fintech market [1][2][3].
Technology will be integral to Nsano Ltd's expansion strategy in East Africa, as the company leverages advanced financial services provided by its partnership with AFS to revolutionize card payments across the region [3]. The rapid technological growth in Rwanda, where Nsano has established its East African presence, will undoubtedly support this tech-driven approach [2].
