What is PAPSS?

PAPSS is a centralized payment and settlement infrastructure for intra-African trade and commerce. PAPSS enables instant, cross-border transactions in local currencies between African markets by simplifying cross-border transactions and reducing the dependency on hard currencies for these transactions.

How it works

PAPSS uses a digital platform to facilitate real-time clearing and settlement of cross-border transactions, allowing businesses and individuals to transact seamlessly across Africa.
