Oluwatobi Ajayi, CEO of Ivorypay, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “Partnering with Tether is a strategic move that aligns perfectly with our vision of simplifying and securing crypto transactions across Africa. It gives us easy access to the liquidity we need to cater to more businesses and individuals across the continent and to do that cheaper and faster than anybody else, which we believe will significantly enhance user trust and increase adoption rates across our platforms.”
With a growing payment ecosystem like Ivorypay for business and also Mansa, its crypto payment app for end users, the partnership will significantly enhance the reliability, and inclusivity of Ivorypay’s blockchain-based financial services across the continent. Ivorypay’s partnership with Tether is expected to drive further innovation in the African payment sector by introducing more businesses and consumers to the benefits of stable, digital transactions.
“This strategic partnership between Ivorypay and Tether represents a transformative step for digital transactions across Africa,” said Aly Madhavji, Managing Partner at Blockchain Founders Fund. “By integrating USDT into their payment systems, Ivorypay is poised to enhance financial inclusivity and streamline cross-border remittances, setting a new standard for stability and efficiency in the region’s financial services. We are excited to support Ivorypay as they work to unlock new opportunities for businesses and consumers throughout Africa.”
