The story

Founded in late 2020 as MEA's first payment orchestration Super-API, MoneyHash targets the fragmented payment landscape across Africa and the Middle East by aggregating 300+ payment providers under a single API. The company evolved from a pure orchestration layer into a full payment infrastructure suite, adding a PCI-compliant tokenization vault, subscription management, payment links, virtual wallets, and settlement/reconciliation tooling. The Mastercard Merchant Cloud collaboration in 2025 signals a strategic push to embed into larger enterprise and card-scheme ecosystems across the region.
