🇷🇼 Our Story

Powering Rwanda's Digital Economy

Rwanda Pay was founded in 2022 with a simple mission: make it as easy as possible for any Rwandan business — from a market vendor to an enterprise — to accept digital payments.

We saw that millions of mobile money transactions happened daily, but businesses struggled to integrate these into their workflows. We built Rwanda Pay to bridge that gap.
