Payments : Flutterwave acquires Mono to boost services in Africa

On January 5, 2026, Flutterwave announced the acquisition of Mono, an African open banking and financial data provider. Mono will remain operationally independent, while its APIs will be integrated into Flutterwave’s platform to enable account-to-account payments, identity verification, and secure financial data access. The move aims to enhance customer experience, reduce fraud, and pave the way for new authenticated payment services across Africa.
