The people behind PayTribes
Money should move across Africa as easily as a message
We started PayTribes after watching good businesses pre-fund suppliers a week early and lose 4% to their bank on every invoice. We’re fixing that one corridor at a time.

Reference-site figures for illustrationWhy we’re building PayTribes
Trade is growing faster than the banking that serves it
A Lagos importer paying a Nairobi supplier still routes money through New York, waits three days and pays twice. PayTribes holds local balances in each market and settles payments as two local transfers, so money lands in seconds at a rate you can see, with the paperwork your accountant needs.

Four things we won’t compromise on
Speed is a feature
A payment that takes three days costs a business more than the fee.
Local first
We hire, build and support in the markets we serve.
