AsaanaPay is a payments and cash back rewards platform for individuals and small businesses home and abroad. AsaanaPay seeks to provide a truly friction-less payment experience by completely waiving digital payment fees for individuals, thereby encouraging the much needed shift from cash based payments to cashless.
Small businesses gain access to a fast growing addressable customer base, reduce their customer acquisition cost and improve customer retention through cash back rewards programs designed to excite, engage and retain customers.
Cash is still king in Africa with about 90% of all payments made on the continent were through cash. In 2022, even though Sub Saharan Africa payments accounted for $832bn in value and 45bn in volume of mobile payments and about 218m mobile accounts in Sub Saharan Africa were active out of 763m registered accounts, there is still a HUGE untapped opportunity to move these registered but inactive accounts into active state and significantly reduce the continent’s heavy reliance on cash.
Digital payment fees are very high ranging from 2% – 6% and mobile money regulatory fees and taxes are within the ranges of 1 – 18% across the region.
For these reasons, people prefer and default to cash as the primary mode of payment. There is no motivation to shift from cash to digital payments. That is why we built AsaanaPay.
