Payment technology solution provider Stanchion has announced a new reseller partnership with TaiFintech Kenya, a company that delivers solutions that enable organisations to optimise revenue collection, enhance operational efficiency, and improve service delivery.

The partnership aims to support efforts to expand access to Stanchion’s advanced Payment Fabric technology solutions across East Africa.

The partners explains that financial institutions in East Africa face increasing pressure to meet digital-first customer expectations while managing the limitations of legacy systems and resource constraints.

Stanchion’s Payment Fabric is designed to allow issuers to deliver fintech-grade features without replacing existing core infrastructure. Accredited under the Mastercard Engage Partner Programme, Stanchion delivers a suite of digital-first capabilities – including tokenisation, dynamic card security codes, PIN management and modern issuer services – to help banks meet rising customer expectations for secure, seamless payment experiences.

Stanchion’s Payment Fabric allows cardholders to add cards to digital wallets such as Apple Pay or Google Pay and to transact securely across all channels – whether in-store, online or in-app. It also enables in-app controls, allowing customers to manage card credentials, PIN settings and transaction controls directly within their banking apps.

Pierre Aurel, Chief Product Officer at Stanchion, says: “What sets Payment Fabric apart is its ability to layer new functionality onto existing card management systems (CMS), without needing to replace or overhaul core infrastructure. This provides a lower-risk, more cost-effective path to innovation, especially compared to migrating to cloud-based issuer processors.”

Formed through a partnership between BCK Kenya Limited, a provider of enterprise IT solutions, cybersecurity services, and digital transformation in East Africa, and Kenya’s Strathmore University, TaiFintech says it blends commercial, academic and research excellence to deliver tailored digital solutions.

As part of the Payment Fabric Reseller Programme, TaiFintech will provide local expertise and market access, backed by Stanchion’s global delivery capability and deep domain knowledge.
