Why Zambia Matters

Zambia’s financial ecosystem blends strong mobile wallet penetration with gateway expansions, making it fertile ground for smarter B2B travel payments. As agency networks scale, the ability to reconcile fast, pay flexibly, and reduce currency friction is no longer a nice-to-have—it’s mission-critical.

Mobile-Led Financial Growth

Zambia is seeing rapid mobile money expansion—MTN MoMo and Airtel Money have changed how businesses transact. In 2024 alone, MTN’s fintech arm recorded over 9.7B transactions valued at $146.6B across Africa, pointing to Zambia’s potential as a mobile-first payments hub.

FX-Port Distribution Access for Non-IATA Agents

With platforms like FX-Port, Zambian travel agencies no longer need IATA licenses or upfront deposits to access airline inventory. This democratizes MEA flight access and lets new players compete from day one—with profit margin controls and live ticketing included.

Local Payments Meet Global Reach

Platforms like Pesapal enable in-market payment collection through card networks (Visa, MasterCard, AMEX) and mobile money, while gateway APIs support real-time international payouts, fraud controls, and PCI compliance.

50+ Currencies Worldwide

We equip travel platforms with the ability to accept, convert, reconcile, and disburse across currencies and channels.
