Embeddable M-Pesa onramps for UAE blockchain projects to instantly reach millions of African users.
UAE-based blockchain projects struggle to scale access to their infrastructure among millions of African users without partnerships with dominant local platforms like M-Pesa.
PesaRamp provides customizable widgets that UAE blockchain projects can embed into their dApps or sites, allowing African users to buy tokens directly with M-Pesa without needing project partnerships. It handles KYC-light flows, compliance routing, and instant settlements to project wallets. This bridges the infrastructure gap, enabling seamless scaling across Kenya, Tanzania, and beyond.
