Kotani Pay
Nairobi, Kenya
Kotani Pay is a Kenyan fintech company that builds middleware payment infrastructure to connect blockchain-based digital assets with local currencies across Africa. Founded in 2020 by a team including former medical doctor Felix Macharia, the company addresses the gap between cryptocurrency adoption and the continent's reliance on feature phones by using Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) technology. This allows users to send, receive, and withdraw stablecoins and cryptocurrencies directly to mobile money wallets without needing internet access or a smartphone. Kotani Pay operates as a B2B service, offering a white-label API that enables crypto exchanges, remittance platforms, and other Web3 businesses to integrate with multiple mobile money networks, including M-Pesa and MTN MoMo. The company has raised $3 million in funding from investors such as P1 Ventures, DCG/Luno, and Flori Ventures, and has been selected for the UNICEF Venture Fund. It holds a Financial Service Provider license from South Africa’s Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA), signaling its commitment to regulatory compliance as it expands into markets like Rwanda, Senegal, and Nigeria.
