PaySika is an innovative fintech transforming financial services across Central Africa and beyond. A few years ago, the PaySika app was launched in Cameroon, enabling users for the first time to obtain a prepaid Visa bank card from home in just a few minutes.

Since then, PaySika has supported hundreds of thousands of people in their daily financial activities, including online and offline payments, peer-to-peer transfers, bill payments, and interoperable transfers, positioning the company as a pioneer in its segment.
