> Crypto payment infrastructure built for Africa

Ivorypay is a stablecoin payment infrastructure provider for African businesses. It lets merchants accept crypto and stablecoin payments globally and settle in local currencies via bank transfers or mobile money.

Ivorypay is a stablecoin payment infrastructure company serving African businesses, a digital asset payments provider rather than a consumer exchange. It enables merchants to accept cryptocurrency and stablecoin payments from customers worldwide and settle the proceeds in their preferred currency, including local African currencies, major fiat currencies, or crypto wallets. Its merchants include e-commerce platforms, fintechs, remittance companies, cross-border traders, creator platforms, and non-profits that need to move money into or out of African markets.

The platform addresses the difficulty African businesses face receiving international payments by connecting stablecoin rails to local banking and mobile money networks. Customers pay in stablecoins or other cryptocurrencies across multiple supported blockchain networks, and Ivorypay converts and settles funds directly to a merchant bank account, mobile money wallet, or crypto address. Compliance processes including identity verification and transaction monitoring support the conversion and settlement flow.

Core offerings include a payment gateway for accepting crypto and stablecoin payments, on and off ramp infrastructure for converting between crypto and fiat, business wallet and treasury management, and a no-code storefront builder, alongside white-label API integration for platforms embedding the infrastructure into their own products. It also operates Duffle, a consumer wallet application for spending crypto through local payment channels. The service is used by online merchants, financial technology platforms, and organizations moving funds across African borders.
