The Challenge of Crypto Payments in Africa
Africa is one of the most promising regions for crypto adoption. Millions of people trade and buy crypto every day. Yet regulation hasn’t caught up.
In some countries, crypto is ignored. In others, it sits in a grey zone. And in many, it’s outright banned. Despite this, demand keeps rising.
For global crypto companies, this creates a challenge: how do you collect payments safely, protect your funds, and still settle globally or in USDT?
That’s where Elemitech comes in.

Elemitech: Built for Crypto and Remittance Companies
Elemitech’s infrastructure was designed to handle global payments with Africa in mind. It supports businesses that need scale, security, and reliable settlement—especially in industries like crypto and remittances.
Today, 59 crypto companies already trust Elemitech. Here’s why.
1. Scalable infrastructure for high volumes
Crypto volumes can grow overnight. If your payment partner can’t handle traffic, your business stalls. Elemitech’s system processes up to 117,000 transactions per second, making it strong enough to handle anything from 5,000 to 1,000,000 transactions per day.
2. Coverage across 54 countries
Africa is not one market. It’s 54 countries, each with its own way of paying.
In Kenya, it’s M-Pesa.
In Nigeria, people use Verve and Opay.
In Uganda, it’s MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money.
In South Africa, cards and EFT are common.
Relying on Visa and Mastercard alone only reaches about 5% of Africans. Elemitech connects you to the other 95%, giving you true access to the market.
3. USDT settlements to avoid delays
Collecting millions in Africa doesn’t mean you can access it easily. Many companies struggle with banks holding or delaying global transfers.
Elemitech fixes this with settlements in USDT. No more waiting weeks or losing access to your funds. Payments are settled quickly and securely.
4. Compliance and legal support
Rules around crypto in Africa shift constantly. What’s legal today may not be tomorrow. Elemitech has a dedicated legal team tracking changes across the continent, giving businesses the guidance they need to stay ahead.
5. Experience with crypto companies
Elemitech isn’t experimenting with crypto—it has years of experience working with exchanges, wallets, and trading platforms. The company knows the unique challenges crypto firms face in Africa and has built its systems around them.
