Flutterwave expands licensed payments in Cameroon
As one of the few FinTechs authorised to operate in Cameroon, Flutterwave enables businesses of all sizes, from local shops to large corporates, to accept payments, manage payouts and oversee financial operations with ease and security.
The digital payments licence, secured through a technical partnership with Ecobank, ensures that Flutterwave’s operations align with regional compliance standards, allowing businesses to grow using a trusted provider.
For merchants in Cameroon, Flutterwave simplifies accepting payments through mobile money, cards and bank transfers without requiring heavy infrastructure investment.
A boutique in Yaoundé can share payment links on WhatsApp or Instagram, while a restaurant in Douala can send digital invoices with payment options. Logistics companies can handle vendor and delivery team payouts through one unified dashboard, streamlining operational processes.
Global companies can also benefit from Flutterwave’s offering by collecting payments in local currencies, managing settlements and issuing refunds while maintaining compliance. Streaming platforms and e-commerce companies can receive customer payments without the complexities of integrating multiple payment methods. The platform also includes fraud management tools, detailed reporting, and local support, reducing complexity for companies entering Central Africa.
Flutterwave CEO Olugbenga ‘GB Agboola said, “Cameroon holds a central place in the future of Africa’s digital economy, and we’re proud to play a part in unlocking its potential.
“By offering secure, compliant, and accessible payment solutions, we’re creating opportunities for businesses of all sizes, from local merchants to global brands; to grow and thrive. Our presence here is not just about technology; it’s about long-term partnership, trust, and enabling prosperity across Central Africa.”
Flutterwave senior vice president for sales, West Africa Bode Aregbesola said, “We know what it takes to run a business in Africa, and we’ve built our solutions to support that reality. Flutterwave is helping everyone — from local businesses to international brands — accept payments, streamline operations, and expand with confidence. With our digital payments license, we’re able to do all of that securely and at scale in Cameroon.”
