The story

Green Pay launched as a merchant payment terminal provider (PSTP) in Côte d'Ivoire, deploying PAX-branded POS devices that aggregate mobile money (Orange Money, MTN), QR codes, NFC, and bank card acceptance onto a single device. Its strategic partnership with GIM-UEMOA in 2021 positioned it as infrastructure for UEMOA-area banks deploying merchant acceptance. In 2025, Green Pay pivoted further into fiscal-digital infrastructure by becoming the first government-approved TERNE provider under Côte d'Ivoire's Facture Normalisée Électronique (FNE) program, broadening its role from payments acceptance to tax-compliance terminal provisioning.
