Resilient, auditable infrastructure

Developer experience is not optional
Built for Africa, not adapted to it

Our Mission

Africa's payment landscape is fragmented. Businesses juggle multiple providers, inconsistent APIs, and unreliable settlement. RohoPay exists to change that. Our mission is to provide a single, unified payment gateway that connects every payment method — mobile money, cards, and bank transfers — through one API, one dashboard, and one settlement flow.

We want every business in Africa, from a two-person startup in Kampala to an enterprise in Lagos, to have access to the same quality of payment infrastructure that the rest of the world takes for granted.

Our Story

RohoPay was founded in 2025 by a team of engineers and fintech operators who had spent years building and integrating payment systems across East Africa. We saw the same problems repeatedly: fragmented provider integrations, poor developer experience, opaque pricing, and slow settlement.

We started with a simple bet — that a single, well-built API could replace the patchwork of providers that most businesses deal with. Today, RohoPay processes transactions across Uganda, Kenya, and Nigeria, supporting mobile money, Visa, and Mastercard through a unified interface. We are still early, but the traction confirms the need: businesses want one gateway that just works.

The Team

RohoPay is built by a small, passionate team spread across Uganda, Kenya, and Nigeria. We are engineers, designers, and operators who have worked at fintechs, banks, and payment processors across the continent. We share a belief that payments in Africa can be dramatically better — and we are building the infrastructure to prove it.

We are a remote-first company. We care about what you build, not where you sit.

Our Values

Reliability

Payments are the backbone of commerce. We build systems that are resilient, auditable, and always available when your customers need to pay.

Transparency

No hidden fees, no confusing pricing. We publish our rates, document our APIs clearly, and keep you informed at every step of a transaction.

Developer-first

Clean APIs, comprehensive documentation, and SDKs that respect your time. We build for the engineers who integrate and maintain payment flows every day.

Africa-native

We are not adapting a Western product for African markets. We are building from the ground up for mobile money, local card rails, and the realities of doing business across the continent.
