At Seamless Middle East, we had a quick chat with Felix Otieno, CEO at Centiwise, a payment aggregator focused on African payment methods.
The question was simple: what is his take on alternative payments in Africa? Felix works with mobile wallets and local bank transfers every day and has a clear view of where the market stands and where it is heading.

Expanding to LATAM or planning to scale in the region? It is a big and fragmented market. Regulatory environments and payment preferences differ by country, and fraud models trained on other regions routinely misread local transactions.
Akurateco built a joint setup with Kushki and Fraudio to address these layers through one integration: Kushki covers regional acquiring and local payment method coverage, Fraudio brings network-level AI fraud scoring, Akurateco connects both as the orchestration layer.
Everything you need to operate in LATAM is built into Akurateco’s orchestration layer. Read the case study here 👉 akurateco.com/case-studies/h…

If you are planning to launch a PSP in Saudi Arabia or the UAE, this clip featuring our CCO Anastasiia Brener is a good place to start.
She covers what to prioritise before anything else, and why 2026 may be the best window yet to scale ⏯️

If you're still routing all your transactions through a single payment gateway, you're leaving money on the table.
Here's what most merchants don't realize:
• The average payment failure rate sits between 5% and 15% depending on the market
• A single gateway going down for 10 minutes during peak hours can cost six figures
• Cross-border transactions get declined 2-3x more often than domestic ones
• Every 1% increase in approval rate translates directly into revenue growth
The problem isn't your gateway. It's relying on just one.
Different markets need different rails. A transaction in Saudi Arabia requires local acquiring. Brazil needs PIX. India runs on UPI. Southeast Asia is moving to QR codes. Europe demands Strong Customer Authentication.
No single gateway handles all of this optimally.
So companies end up with two choices: build an in-house integration layer (12-18 months, millions in dev cost, ongoing PCI DSS compliance), or plug into a payment orchestration platform.
That's what Akurateco Payment Hub provides.
Akurateco is a white-label payment orchestration platform with 600+ ready-to-use payment connectors. One integration, one dashboard, access to every payment method that matters globally.
What it does concretely:
• Smart routing sends each transaction to the optimal gateway based on geography, card type, and historical approval data
• Cascading automatically retries failed transactions on an alternative provider, no customer friction
• Real-time analytics give you full visibility across every channel
• PCI DSS Level 1 compliance is built in, you don't need to certify yourself
• White-label means your merchants see YOUR brand, not Akurateco's
The payment orchestration market is projected to grow from ~$3B in 2025 to $6-7B by 2030. This isn't a nice-to-have anymore. It's becoming the standard infrastructure layer for any serious payment business.
PSPs, banks, and enterprise merchants are all moving to orchestration. The question is whether you build it, buy it, or get left behind.

A failed payment isn’t just a decline, it’s lost revenue + churn risk.
The smartest companies fight this with payment routing.
Here’s how it actually works in practice 👇
The numbers speak:
Even a 5% boost in approvals can be the difference between hitting or missing annual targets.
