Yuno, Flutterwave team up on payments

Yuno has partnered with Flutterwave to streamline payment access for global businesses expanding into Africa. The collaboration enables merchants to integrate Flutterwave’s local payment methods through a single API, reducing the need for multiple integrations across markets.

Through the partnership, Yuno’s clients can access a wide range of payment options—including cards, mobile money, and bank transfers—across key African markets such as Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Rwanda, and South Africa. All transactions can be managed via Yuno’s centralised dashboard, simplifying operations and reconciliation.

The deal aims to address longstanding challenges in Africa’s fragmented payments ecosystem, where businesses often face regulatory and technical complexities when entering new markets. By combining Yuno’s global orchestration platform with Flutterwave’s local infrastructure and licensing, the companies aim to offer a more seamless and scalable solution.

“Expanding into Africa has been a complex and resource-intensive challenge for many global businesses,” said Juan Pablo Ortega, CEO and Founder of Yuno. “This partnership provides a single, scalable solution to access Africa’s dynamic markets faster and with less friction.”

Flutterwave brings extensive regional expertise, having integrated hundreds of local payment methods and secured regulatory approvals across multiple countries. This enables Yuno merchants to expand from one market to others without requiring separate contracts or additional technical builds.

“Africa’s payment landscape is vibrant but historically fragmented,” said Olugbenga “GB” Agboola, Founder and CEO of Flutterwave. “By partnering with Yuno, we are opening up these payment rails to global merchants with greater speed and simplicity.”

The partnership reflects a broader trend of payment firms building unified infrastructure to support cross-border commerce, particularly in high-growth regions like Africa. It is expected to lower entry barriers and accelerate digital trade across the continent.
