5 Types of International Payments You Can Make with AZA Finance

In the last decade, digital payments have shifted from being a trend to a necessity. From apps like Venmo and PayPal in the West to mobile money platforms like M-Pesa and Paga in Africa, the need and demand for digital international payments cannot be ignored. 

However, at a business level, companies are yet to capitalize on this change. Despite excessive paperwork, dismal customer service, and long processing times, traditional brick and mortar institutions continue to be the most preferred choice for business-related payments, largely for security reasons.

Through its web and API platforms, businesses can make any kind of international payment from the comfort of their desk!
