About us

We build what African commerce runs on.

iSmart International engineers the payment and technology infrastructure behind businesses across the continent.

How iSmart is built

One company. Two ways in.

iSmart International builds the financial infrastructure. iSmartPay, our payment service provider, is how that infrastructure reaches people — as everyday payments for individuals, and as iSmart Classic for business.

Your money deserves confidence.

Moving value asks more of a company than good engineering. iSmart holds PCI DSS Level 1 certification — the card industry's most rigorous tier of validation — and treats the protection of transaction data as part of the infrastructure rather than a feature added on top.
