PawaPay\u2019s <\/a>subsidiary, Kerry Payments, has secured a Value Added Services (VAS) Payment Aggregator Licence in the Republic of Congo, marking a significant expansion milestone for the African fintech company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The licence, granted by the relevant regulatory authorities in Congo, authorises Kerry Payments to operate as a payment aggregator, enabling it to facilitate digital transactions, mobile money services, bill payments, and other value-added financial services across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This regulatory approval allows PawaPay to deepen its presence in the Central African market through Kerry Payments. The company plans to partner with local banks, mobile network operators, merchants, and businesses to deliver seamless digital payment solutions to both consumers and enterprises in Congo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PawaPay has been expanding aggressively across Africa, with a focus on building robust payment infrastructure that supports local currencies, mobile money interoperability, and cross-border transactions. The Congo licence strengthens its footprint in Francophone Africa, a region with growing demand for modern digital payment systems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Republic of Congo, like many African markets, is witnessing rapid digitalisation driven by increasing mobile penetration and government efforts to reduce cash dependency. A licensed payment aggregator like Kerry Payments will help bridge the gap between traditional financial services and modern digital channels, particularly for bill payments, remittances, merchant collections, and government services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This development is expected to create new opportunities for local businesses by providing them with reliable digital payment acceptance tools and improving overall transaction efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PawaPay stated that obtaining the VAS Payment Aggregator Licence demonstrates its commitment to operating within strong regulatory frameworks while delivering innovative payment solutions tailored to local market needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company is now positioned to roll out its full suite of services in Congo in the coming months, starting with key use cases such as airtime top-ups, utility bill payments, and merchant acquiring solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This latest regulatory win further solidifies PawaPay\u2019s position as one of the fastest-growing payment infrastructure providers in Africa, with operations expanding steadily across multiple markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
