Digital payments network MFS Africa has announced it raised another USD 100 million in equity and debt funding led by Admaius Capital Partners

The Series C extension funding round takes the total amount raised by the African company to USD 200 million. AZA IM Alts, Vitruvian Partners, AfricInvest FIVE, and Equator Capital Partners are among the new and old investors. 

The latest funds will be used to accelerate the company’s expansion across the African continent and its integration into the global digital payments’ ecosystem. Moreover, MFS Africa will continue its expansion into Asia through a joint venture with LUN Partners to enable cross-border digital payments in Africa and China.

Since the first close of its Series C fundraise in November 2021, the company has acquired BAXI in Nigeria, which later received additional licenses from the Central Bank of Nigeria.
