Kotani Pay is revolutionizing currency transactions in Africa with its platform that facilitates access to stablecoins for local currencies. Established in 2020, the company is headquartered in Kenya. It has positioned itself as Africa’s most reliable on-ramp and off-ramp platform, bridging the gap between fiat currencies and stablecoins.
The platform enables businesses to remit funds to Africa by seamlessly converting fiat currencies to stablecoins and vice versa. Clients benefit from swift, cost-effective, and secure transactions through either API integration or a one-time settlement solution. The products offered include a stablecoin settlement solution, a user-friendly API, and USSD-based transactions linked directly to mobile money services.
Kotani Pay supports various stablecoins such as USDT, USDC, and cUSD. The platform has versatile applications, ranging from remittances, forex arbitrage, and lending to gig work and social protection schemes like Universal Basic Income.
Recently, the company secured an early VC investment with backing from Tether, as of 01 October 2025. This funding underscores investor confidence in Kotani Pay's promise to streamline financial transactions across the continent.
