Montran Africa Opens in Kenya, Positioning Nairobi as a Strategic Hub for the Future of African Fintech

Montran officially launched Montran Africa, its dedicated headquarters based out of Kenya, signalling a new era of partnership, proximity, and progress for the global fintech leader in one of the world’s most dynamic financial ecosystems.

The event, attended by representatives from central banks, financial institutions, regulators, and industry leaders from across Africa, celebrated Montran’s decades-long partnership with the continent and the formalisation of its regional operations. The Nairobi-based headquarters will serve as a hub for client engagement, implementation support, and innovation across Africa’s rapidly evolving financial landscape.

“Africa is experiencing one of the most exciting transformations in global finance,” said Alexander Esca, CEO of Montran. “The launch of Montran Africa reflects our enduring commitment to the continent. We have long been part of Africa’s financial journey, today, we are taking that relationship even deeper.”

Under the leadership of Wohoro Ndohho, Regional Executive Director of Montran Africa, the new office will enable closer collaboration with clients, faster delivery, and tailored solutions for Africa’s diverse markets. Montran’s systems already power key national and regional infrastructures across the continent, enabling real-time, secure, and interoperable financial transactions.

“This launch is both a celebration and a commitment,” said Wohoro Ndohho. “A celebration of what we have achieved with our partners across Africa and a commitment that Montran will continue investing, innovating, and collaborating to deliver the next generation of financial infrastructure that supports inclusion, resilience, and growth.”

Across Africa, Montran’s solutions power the backbone of financial markets, supporting millions of users daily. From RTGS and ACH systems to CSDs, IPS platforms, and cross-border payment hubs, Montran’s infrastructure drives interoperability, inclusion, and innovation. Its technologies are foundational to national and regional financial systems, ensuring stability, transparency, and ongoing modernisation across diverse markets.
