“Can Paysky become the default white-label digital payments infrastructure layer for financial institutions and telecoms across Africa and the Middle East?”
Founded in 2017 in Dubai, Paysky started as a digital payments infrastructure provider targeting financial institutions, banks, and telecoms in Egypt and the broader MENA/Africa region. It evolved from a pure payment gateway into a comprehensive ecosystem offering issuing, acquiring, SoftPOS, VPOS, e-commerce store builder, and a consumer super-app (Yalla) with a prepaid card. The company has positioned itself as a payment-as-a-service platform for banks and fintechs seeking white-label digital finance stacks rather than building the infrastructure themselves.
