Ivorypay provides cryptocurrency payment infrastructure enabling African businesses to accept stablecoin payments and convert them to local currencies through bank transfers or mobile money.

Ivorypay operates cryptocurrency payment infrastructure designed for African markets, enabling businesses to accept stablecoin and cryptocurrency payments from global customers with automatic conversion to local fiat currencies. The platform integrates with traditional payment systems including bank transfers and mobile money across Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, and South Africa. Businesses access API-based payment gateways, payment links, QR codes, and checkout integrations, while receiving settlements in their preferred currency through regulated banking channels. The infrastructure includes automated KYC verification, AML monitoring, and regulatory compliance for African markets.
