Kenya-based DPO Group has announced three partnerships with companies in the digital payments sector
The increased momentum for partnerships follows last year’s landmark acquisition by Network International. Following the acquisition, DPO Group has increased its operations in new markets both in Africa, partnering with businesses in key African territories, from local businesses to continental airlines. DPO began 2022 with more than 60,000 active registered merchants and is set to increase this number through tactical partnerships and new territory launches. These new partnerships will allow customers to access efficient eCommerce and payments services through DPO Group’s robust platform.
DPO’s partnership with Mastercard will enable businesses in Ghana to offer their customers greater choice and convenience by accepting digital payments in the currency of their choice, including mobile money. It offers seamless and secure payments via e-wallets which function both locally and abroad, and the two businesses recently collaborated to deliver a training session for entrepreneurs in the country. In partnering with DPO, the Bank of Kigali will now offer digital payment services to its existing business customers, and it is expected that many new online merchants will join the bank to take advantage of the new service.
Offer Gat, MD of DPO Group Africa, commented: “We’re delighted to kick off 2022 with three strong strategic partnerships. This is going to be a huge year for entrepreneurs and commerce in Africa. It will also be a big year for DPO Group as we continue to support the ambitions and potential of these businesses through our payments products and services.”
