Ivorypay

Ivorypay is a crypto payment infrastructure for African businesses that need to accept global payments in stablecoins and crypto, then settle quickly to local African currencies via bank and mobile money.

Key capabilities include:

• Payment Gateway for global collections: Accept USDT, USDC, Bitcoin, and Ethereum from international customers, with options to auto-convert and receive proceeds in local currency (examples referenced include NGN and KSH).
• Bi-directional cross-border rails: Receive crypto payments and also pay suppliers globally (examples referenced include China and India), positioned for businesses managing inflows and outflows across borders.
• APIs for crypto-enabled products: Developer documentation supports integrating on/off ramps, transfers, transactions, and charge authorizations, allowing apps to add crypto payment features without handling blockchain directly.
• Risk and compliance controls: Includes automated KYC, real-time AML monitoring, and compliance positioning for major African markets; crypto’s irreversible transactions are highlighted as reducing chargeback exposure.

Available via web dashboard, APIs, and a WordPress plugin. Duffle is also listed as a related consumer product for spending crypto as local currency.

Target users include African businesses, fintechs, NGOs, global brands, and betting/gaming platforms building collections, payouts (gaming withdrawals), payroll, remittances, or marketplace payments.

Ivorypay is notable for focusing on hyper-local settlement to African banks and mobile money while enabling stablecoin payment acceptance across markets, with published country pricing pages for Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa, and claims of $80M+ processed and 9,000+ merchants onboarded.
