In its bid to facilitate engagement with regulators for licensing across Africa, Kenyan fintech startup, Wapi Pay, has raised a US$2.2 million pre-seed funding round.
The non-equity pre-seed raise is going to be used by Wapi Pay to assist in engaging regulators for licensing across Africa, and drive higher and sustained growth.
The newly raised fund is to drive global remittances and payments between Asia and Africa.
Investors that took part in the funding round include MSA Capital, EchoVC, Kepple Africa Ventures and other current angel investors.
Speaking on the secured fund, Eddie Ndichu, Co-founder at Wapi Pay said:
“These funds will help Wapi Pay diversify its product range and drive growth so that we can evolve remittances into real-time global cross-border payments, starting with Africa and Asia. All while minimizing the cost of transactions, it needs to be as easy as sending M-PESA,”
