Montran Africa: A New Dawn for Fintech in Kenya

In December 2025, Montran officially launched Montran Africa, its regional headquarters based in Nairobi, Kenya. This strategic initiative marks the beginning of a new phase of collaboration, closeness, and progress for one of the world’s leading fintech companies. The launch event saw participation from central bank officials, financial institutions, regulatory authorities, and industry leaders from across Africa, all gathering to celebrate Montran's long-standing partnership with the continent and to formalize its regional operations.

The Nairobi headquarters is poised to serve as a central hub focusing on client service, implementation support, and pioneering innovations within Africa's rapidly evolving financial landscape. Alexander Esca, the Managing Director of Montran, emphasized the significance of this development, stating, "Africa is experiencing one of the most exciting transformations in global finance. The launch of Montran Africa reflects our ongoing commitment to the continent. We have long been part of Africa's financial evolution, and today we are deepening that relationship further."

Under the leadership of Wohoro Ndohho, the new regional executive director, the office will foster closer collaboration with clients, facilitate faster implementations, and tailor solutions to meet the diverse markets across Africa. Montran’s systems already support key national and regional infrastructures throughout the continent, enabling real-time financial transactions that are secure and interoperable.

Wohoro Ndohho shared, "This launch is both a reason to celebrate and a commitment. It celebrates what we, alongside our partners in Africa, have achieved and underscores our dedication to investing, innovating, and collaborating to deliver the next generation of financial infrastructure that supports inclusion, resilience, and growth."

Across Africa, Montran’s solutions form the backbone of financial markets, serving millions of users daily. From RTGS (Real-Time Gross Settlement) and ACH (Automated Clearing House) systems to CSDs (Central Securities Depositories) and IPS (Instant Payment Service) platforms, Montran’s infrastructure pushes forward interoperability, inclusion, and innovation. These technologies underpin national and regional financial systems, ensuring stability, transparency, and ongoing modernization across various markets.

The establishment of Montran Africa marks a significant milestone in the company’s partnership with the continent. As Africa accelerates its digital transformation and cross-border financial integration, Montran invites all stakeholders to join this shared journey toward a prosperous financial future.
