OpenWay, the global leader behind the award-winning Way4 digital payments platform, has officially expanded into Francophone Africa, empowering banks and fintechs in the region with cutting-edge technology and localized support infrastructure.

As part of its strategic commitment to driving fintech innovation across the continent, OpenWay is taking two major steps in Francophone Africa:

1. Making the Way4 Platform Available Across the Region

OpenWay has entered into a long-term technology partnership with a leading tier-1 bank in Morocco to support its digital transformation agenda. This milestone paves the way for financial institutions across Morocco and Tunisia to adopt the globally recognized Way4 platform—trusted by industry leaders and cited by Gartner and Datos as a best-in-class solution.

By expanding into Francophone Africa, OpenWay continues to support forward-thinking institutions building Africa’s next-generation payments infrastructure. In addition to its new presence in North Africa, Way4 is already trusted by key players across the continent, including Equity Bank in Kenya and rising fintech SanuPay in Ethiopia.

Way4 enables financial institutions to:

• Launch digital-first, real-time 24/7 payment services across issuing, acquiring, and processing

• Accelerate go-to-market timelines with a flexible, configurable architecture

• Consolidate all payment types—cards, wallets, A2A transfers, merchant services, crypto, CBDC—on a single platform

• Ensure enterprise-grade security, compliance, and system reliability

• Seamlessly scale across regions without functional limitations

2. Establishing a Local Team in North Africa

To ensure tailored service delivery, OpenWay is building a dedicated local team in Francophone North Africa. Clients in Morocco and Tunisia will now benefit from regional, on-the-ground support—backed by OpenWay’s global delivery expertise and deep industry know-how.

This local footprint is further strengthened through collaboration with experts and partners from Sub-Saharan Africa, ensuring every engagement is informed by regional context and cultural understanding.
