Overview

Whilst we started operations in 2002 as a transaction switching and electronic payments processing company, building and managing payment infrastructure, our business has grown remarkably in size and geographical scope. This has enabled us to deliver innovative payment products and transactional services throughout the African continent. The organization’s sustainable growth model demonstrated since inception has positioned Interswitch to expand into more sectors and markets than any other payments company in Africa.

Our expansion into the Kenyan market commenced in 2014 with the acquisition of Paynet Group. Over the last few years, our broadening network and tailored digital payment solutions have been instrumental to the development of Kenya’s payments ecosystem and providing solid foundations for further growth across the East African financial services landscape.

We offer a broad range of integrated payment and commerce solutions including our suite of corporate solutions as well as consumer offerings including our Verve physical and digital payment tokens and our flagship value added service, Quickteller.
