Lipaworld, a South African startup founded by immigrants who experienced the cost of cross-border transactions firsthand, has launched a stablecoin-powered Visa card targeting Africa's unbanked populations.

The payment orchestrator will expand across Africa to help online businesses coordinate multiple payment providers through a single integration, addressing the continent's persistent transaction failure rates.

Pan-African payments company Nairagram has closed a ₦10 billion capital raise to scale digital financial infrastructure across the continent, positioning itself to capture growing cross-border payment flows.
