In a bold move set to redefine the future of digital transactions across Africa and beyond, Tulupay, a leading African fintech company, has entered into a strategic partnership with Hedera, the globally recognized distributed ledger technology platform. The agreement, officially signed on March 14, 2025, marks a milestone collaboration aimed at driving innovation, transparency, and security in the financial services sector.

The partnership brings together Tulupay’s expertise in payment infrastructure and financial inclusion with Hedera’s high-performance blockchain technology. Through this alliance, Tulupay will integrate Hedera’s network to enhance the speed, scalability, and integrity of its platform—enabling users, developers, and institutions to execute digital payments and transactions more efficiently than ever before.

Speaking on the partnership, Tulupay’s CEO Felix Achibiri,  described the agreement as a “historic leap forward,” noting that the collaboration will not only improve the platform’s technical backbone but also expand access to secure, transparent financial services for underserved populations. “This is about building a future where cross-border transactions are instant, verifiable, and trustworthy,” he said.

On the other side, representatives from Hedera emphasized the importance of regional partnerships in scaling global blockchain adoption. “Tulupay has built an impressive platform that aligns perfectly with Hedera’s vision for decentralized, enterprise-grade applications. We are excited to work together to unlock new financial opportunities across emerging markets,” said a Hedera spokesperson.

A key element of the partnership will focus on supporting developers across Africa through open APIs and blockchain infrastructure, fostering a new generation of fintech innovations. Additionally, the two organizations have expressed a commitment to promoting environmental sustainability, with Hedera’s energy-efficient network offering a low-carbon alternative to traditional blockchain models.

As the digital economy continues to evolve, the Tulupay-Hedera partnership is poised to play a critical role in shaping the infrastructure behind Africa’s financial future. Industry analysts say the collaboration could serve as a blueprint for fintech partnerships that prioritize scalability, transparency, and inclusion.

Further details on product rollouts, developer programs, and regional integrations are expected in the coming weeks as both companies begin implementation of the agreement.
