“Our goal is to support the growth of businesses throughout Africa by allowing them to pay and be paid securely and effortlessly throughout the continent and internationally, ensuring that more organisations in Africa are financially included and have the same opportunity to transact online as elsewhere in the world. The DumaCard is another of our innovations enabling this.”

The company, which holds PCI DSS Level 1 Certification in all 16 markets in which it operates, claims that it has developed sophisticated, end-to-end fraud prevention and risk management systems.

The launch follows DPO’s partnership with Mastercard, which allowed the African payment firm to issue physical and virtual cards in collaboration with banks.

Mastercard, last year, also enabled DPO Group to act as a Pan-African switch via Mastercard Payments Gateway Services, (MPGS).
