Flutterwave Expands Operations in Zambia, Boosting Digital Payments and Business Growth
Flutterwave, a leading digital payments solutions provider, has made its entry into the Zambian market, marking a significant step in its broader strategic expansion across Africa. This move is expected to accelerate digital transactions and business growth in the region.
The company, which operates in over 30 countries, has partnered with MTN Group in 2021 to facilitate mobile money payments across multiple African markets, including Zambia. This partnership has enabled enterprises in Zambia to use Flutterwave's platform for mobile money collections and payouts, simplifying financial processes.
Flutterwave's presence in Zambia serves as a crucial entry point for international companies looking to expand into the Zambian market. The platform ensures smooth local transactions while supporting businesses aiming for global expansion.
One of the key impacts of Flutterwave's entry into the Zambian market is the growth in transaction volumes. The company processed nearly $1 billion in transactions between Africa and Asia during the first half of 2025, supported by its operations in countries including Zambia. This indicates increased digital transaction activity facilitated by Flutterwave’s platform.
Another significant impact is regulatory strengthening. Flutterwave’s regulatory expansion into Zambia demonstrates increased compliance and trust in digital payments, which is crucial for business adoption and stability in the fintech ecosystem.
Flutterwave’s partnerships with global and local entities have also enabled product innovations such as multi-currency and stablecoin settlements, boosting the options available to Zambian businesses for digital commerce.
The company reported doubling its profit margins by mid-2025 thanks to cost management and efficiency improvements—an indicator of sustainable business growth that indirectly benefits the markets it serves, including Zambia.
Overall, Flutterwave’s presence in Zambia contributes to expanding digital transaction capabilities, fostering a more integrated payments ecosystem, and supporting SME and enterprise growth through enhanced payment solutions and cross-border connectivity.
