US Leading Financial Infrastructure Platform, Yuno, Partners with Flutterwave to Simplify African Market Expansion for Global Merchants

Yuno, the global financial infrastructure platform, today  announced a strategic partnership with Flutterwave Inc, Africa’s leading payment technology  company, to streamline payments for businesses expanding into Africa. Through a single API  integration, Yuno merchants can now activate Flutterwave’s comprehensive local payment methods,  including cards, mobile money, and bank transfers across key African markets instantly, eliminating  the complexity and cost of multiple local integrations. 

The partnership addresses the significant barriers global businesses face when entering Africa’s  fragmented and diverse payments landscape. By combining Yuno’s unified global payments  platform with Flutterwave’s extensive on-the-ground presence and regulatory reach, merchants  gain seamless access to payments in Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Rwanda, South  Africa, and more, all managed via a centralized Yuno dashboard that simplifies operations and  reconciliation. 

“Expanding into Africa has been a complex and resource-intensive challenge for many global  businesses,” said Juan Pablo Ortega, CEO and Founder of Yuno. “By partnering with Flutterwave,  we’re giving our merchants a single, scalable solution to access Africa’s dynamic markets faster and  with much less friction. This partnership empowers businesses to unlock new growth opportunities  on the continent with the confidence that their payments infrastructure is robust and fully compliant.”

Flutterwave brings deep local expertise and regulatory licenses, enabling enterprise-grade  scalability for Yuno’s clients that can start in one market and rapidly expand across the continent  without the need for separate contracts or technical builds. 

“Africa’s payment landscape is incredibly vibrant but historically fragmented,” said Olugbenga “GB”  Agboola, Founder and CEO, Flutterwave. “We’ve spent years doing the heavy lifting, integrating  hundreds of local payment methods and securing licenses across the continent to build a single  payment superhighway. By partnering with global orchestration leaders like Yuno, we are opening  up those rails, bringing the power of Africa’s payment rails to global merchants with unprecedented  speed and simplicity.” 

The collaboration marks a significant step forward in making Africa accessible to the world’s  innovators, lowering the cost and complexity of market entry through AI-native technology.
