SunFintech, a pan-African payments and treasury solutions provider, has partnered with Flutterwave to enhance cross-border payment capabilities, foreign exchange liquidity, and treasury management services on the continent.

The collaboration integrates Flutterwave’s payment infrastructure into SunFintech’s platform, enabling faster settlements, multi-currency support, and improved transaction services for businesses operating across multiple African markets. SunFintech currently serves 11 markets.

Cross-border payments and FX liquidity have become critical for digital commerce growth in Africa. The partnership aims to reduce settlement delays, lower costs for regional trade, and improve remittance efficiency.

SunFintech provides retail remittances, cross-border FX brokerage, treasury services, and compliance solutions. Before the partnership, the company faced challenges including limited geographic reach, slow settlements, and integration bottlenecks, primarily in Nigeria.

Flutterwave’s platform offers local payout rails to bank accounts and mobile wallets, multi-currency accounts, competitive conversion rates, and dedicated support. These tools help SunFintech address fragmentation in Africa’s payment systems.

The companies described the move as supporting broader digital economy goals by making transactions more accessible and efficient for businesses and consumers. No specific financial terms or immediate rollout timelines for new features were disclosed.

Flutterwave, a leading African payments technology firm, has similar integrations with other fintechs and enterprises to drive continental payment connectivity. SunFintech continues to focus on compliant, affordable solutions for individuals, diaspora communities, and businesses.

The partnership is expected to strengthen SunFintech’s ability to scale operations and support economic activity through improved payment infrastructure.
