# Nuvia Networks > Collect payments from anyone, anywhere in just 15 minutes Nuvia Networks is a cross-border payments and invoicing platform for African businesses. It helps enterprises, SMEs, and freelancers collect international payments and issue compliant e-invoices through a single dashboard. Nuvia Networks is a cross-border payments and compliance company that provides invoicing and collection infrastructure for African businesses. It combines global and local payment rails into a single no-code invoicing tool, allowing users to generate invoices, share payment links, and receive funds converted into local currency. The platform targets high-value enterprises alongside smaller merchants, freelancers, and e-commerce sellers who need to receive international payments without building custom integrations. The company positions itself against friction in international trade, citing barriers such as buyer distrust, lengthy know-your-customer procedures, and fragmented payment partners that each cover only a portion of available markets. Its platform routes buyers toward locally familiar payment methods such as cards, mobile money, and bank transfers, and applies applicable local taxes to invoices automatically. Nuvia works with regulated banking and payment service partners rather than holding a banking license itself, and it describes its own standing as a licensed fintech operating through those partners. Core offerings include the e-invoicing product, a payment gateway supporting a range of banking and mobile money rails, and a merchant verification feature intended to signal compliance status to buyers. The company also states it can provide advance settlement ahead of partner payouts to support merchant cash flow. It is used by African small and medium enterprises, cross-border freelancers, and e-commerce operators seeking to consolidate multiple payment channels into one platform. - Type: Company - Sector: Payments - Status: Announced - Founded: 2025-01-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/nuvia_networks ## Products - [Nuvia Networks](https://thegrid.id/profiles/nuvia_networks): Nuvia Networks is a no-code invoicing and payment collection platform targeting African SMEs engaged in cross-border transactions.
