“Can a CBK-licensed payment service provider become the financial operating system for SMBs across Africa by bundling collections, payouts, virtual accounts, and payroll into one platform?”
Founded in 2018 in Nairobi, Pesawise started as a business payments platform focused on the Kenyan market, regulated by the Central Bank of Kenya as a Payment Service Provider. The company expanded its platform to include virtual wallets, multi-currency accounts, bulk payments, and payroll disbursements, positioning itself as an all-in-one B2B financial operations platform for African businesses. It has extended its presence to Nigeria as part of a broader pan-African ambition.
