The team is supported by Nana Yaw Owusu Banahene, Ghana's country manager.

AZA Finance is the largest non-bank in Africa specialising in cross-border international Payments, FX and Treasury.  Through our web and API platforms, we make it easier for enterprises doing business in Africa.

By leveraging cutting edge technology with our proprietary technology in our flagship products, AZA Finance is able to significantly lower the cost and increase the speed of business payments to, from and across African markets.

Our partners utilise our hybrid financial infrastructure and deep local knowledge to manage liquidity and send payments to dozens of bank networks, mobile money operators and payments aggregators across Africa.

Meryem Habibi, Chief Revenue Officer for AZA Finance commented “Ghana is a key market for AZA Finance as it is a significant hub for intra-African trade, a mature market with a population of over 31 million and the fifth largest stock exchange in Africa.
