Partna

Partna is a stablecoin-powered payment infrastructure for fintechs and businesses that need to collect payments in African currencies, convert funds, and settle to USD or stablecoins.

Key capabilities include:

• Onramp and offramp via a single API, enabling fiat-to-stablecoin conversions and stablecoin-to-local currency payouts, with payment rails, FX, and settlement handled by the platform.
• Local currency collection with USD/stablecoin settlement, so businesses can accept payments in markets such as Nigeria (NGN), Ghana (GHS), and Kenya (KES), then settle to USD (including via ACH) or stablecoins such as USDT on Celo.
• Cross-border settlement support designed for Africa-focused flows, including conversion and settlement steps required to move value between local rails and global accounts or wallets.
• Reliability and speed metrics shared by the provider, including 99% transaction success, 200,000+ monthly transactions, and case studies citing processing times reduced to ~2 minutes and same-day USD settlements.

Available via API with online documentation, plus Web pages for coverage, demo, and support.

Target users include crypto apps, fintechs and neobanks, SaaS and service businesses, and other companies operating in or selling into African markets that need local collection and USD or stablecoin settlement.

Notable in the African payments context for being backed by Y Combinator and for published customer examples (including Minipay, Cenoa, and Hyperverge) focused on improving settlement speed and transaction reliability across African payment rails.
