Sasai Fintech, a business of Cassava Technologies, Africa’s first integrated technology company of continental scale, has been awarded the compliance approval for merchant payments and bulk disbursements on GSMA digital wallet’s Mobile Money API (Application Programming Interface).
According to Darlington Mandivenga, Sasai Fintech CEO, “Everyone deserves a seamless, safe and convenient way of making financial transactions. Sasai Fintech has made it its mission to use technology to improve the quality of life for Africans by offering access to affordable financial services. Becoming GSMA compliant is yet another achievement in our journey to create digital financial independence on the continent”.
Securing this compliance helped Sasai, the leading diversified and integrated African fintech company, standardise its integration process. The GSMA Mobile Money API Compliant mark is also a ‘quality seal’ enabling it to comply with international best practices, providing partners with the assurance of security, robustness and adherence to world-class standards.
It reflects best practices in design and security for mobile wallet operators and driving industry convergence toward standard technical specifications for mobile money API development. This makes it easier for mobile money and third-party service providers to connect and scale financial products securely and quickly.
