Paystack Receives Payment Service Authorisation by Central Bank of Kenya

Paystack has received a Payment Service Provider Authorisation from the Central Bank of Kenya, which permits them to provide payment services to businesses operating in Kenya.

In every country in which we operate, Paystack strives to build fast, secure, and reliable payment services for businesses and customers. In Kenya – our fourth country where we operate locally, after South Africa, Ghana, and Nigeria – we’re thankful to receive the authorisation required to operate in full compliance with regulations.

As a result of this good news, we’re excited to announce the launch of our Kenya Private Beta!

We’ll work with an initial group of businesses to refine our platform in Kenya, implement feedback, and ensure that we build a fast, reliable, truly delightful payment experience.
