Africa’s payment technology company, Flutterwave, is gearing up to expand its services across North Africa and the Middle East following the recent approval from the Egyptian authority to let it operate as a Payment Service Provider in the country.

The company announced that it received its Payment Services Provider and Payments Facilitator licenses in Egypt, which will enable it act as an official Payment Service Provider in the country, collect payments on behalf of its customers and settle payments locally and globally.

This is as the African financial technology company had denied reports that its system was hacked, as it stressed that its customers accounts remain safe and secure.

According to reports, N2.949 billion had been illegally transferred from the accounts of Flutterwave and the funds transferred to 28 accounts in 63 transactions.

Confirming that no user lost any funds, the fintech company said “we take pride in the fact that our security measures were able to address the issue before any harm could be done to our users. During a routine check of our transaction monitoring system, we identified an unusual trend of transactions on some users’ profiles.

“Our team immediately launched a review (inline with our standard operating procedure), which revealed that some users who had not activated some of our recommended security settings might have been susceptible.

“Our commitment to keeping our users’ financial information safe and secure is why we invest heavily in security initiatives such as periodic audits, certifications, and licenses such as the PCI-DSS & ISO 27001. These are in line with global best practices in information security management.

“We want you to continue to trust us and feel secure in using Flutterwave for your business needs. Our commitment is to enable your business growth while keeping your financial information safe and secure.

Flutterwave, which is now one of the few payment service providers in Egypt with both local and global settlement capabilities, will now be able to deploy the company for Business suite of products including store, payment links, invoices and checkout in Egypt.

Commenting on how the operational permit in Egypt will deepen its reach across the Middle East and North Africa, MENA region,  regional manager, North Africa in Expansion & Partnerships, Egypt, Aalaa Gamal, expressed optimism that the recent expansion is a strategic initiative to establish its presence in the MENA region and beyond.

CEO and founder of Flutterwave, Olugbenga GB Agboola said: “we are proud to have been granted the Payment Services Provider and Payment Facilitator licenses in Egypt, which forms part of our international expansion strategy.
