Regulated PIS & AIS provider · Open Banking infrastructure for Africa

PIS

Payment Initiation Services

Customers securely authorise payments directly from their bank or mobile money account — without ever sharing banking credentials with a merchant.

How it works

Credentials never leave the bank.

A payment initiation request is authorised by the customer inside their own bank or wallet app. AfriPulse Pay carries the instruction, not the credentials — which removes the merchant from the security perimeter entirely and shortens the path between an intent to pay and cleared funds.

  • No card details or banking passwords held by the merchant
  • Strong customer authentication at the account provider
  • Real-time confirmation for both payer and payee
  • Consent that the customer can withdraw at any time
