Are you doing business in Africa? Do you intend to work with an African partner or supplier but are wondering what other payment options exist beyond SWIFT?
This is where Kutana Pay comes in. At Kutana Technologies, we have built a B2B secure buyer-protection platform that allows local businesses, traders, and gig workers to make and receive payments across Africa. Our platform allows you to set up flexible terms of payment and we hold payment in trust on behalf of customers until conditions of payment are met by the receiving party.
Sign Up & Onboarding
Just like every other application, we would like to get to know you a bit more and also ensure that the platform is safe for all users. This is a very important step for us and for you because it ensure safety and security for all users on the platform.
The entire onboarding process shouldn't take you more than 3 mins to complete. Once completed, your documents will be reviewed and you should be verified in a matter of minutes provided all documents are accurate.
We advise you to have the following documents on hand when signing up to smoothen the process:
A valid national ID Card (ID, Passport, Driver's license)
Bank account statement or utility bill (water bill/electricity bill in your name)
Company registration documents (Articles of incorporation and/or business certificate)
Also, ensure you are in a very-well lit room as you may be asked to take a live picture of yourself.

And just like that you are in and ready to initiate your first transaction. It is very easy to initiate your first transaction, all you need to do is click on the big blue button on the top left part of your dashboard that reads "Instant transaction".
New Transaction
Fill in the details of the supplier or service provider you would like to pay. It is very essential you indicate the exact agreed conditions of payment between you and the receiver. For example: "Pay 50% upfront and the remaining 50% in two instalment upon confirmation of goods."
