At Vivatech Paris last April, the startup gained attention for its effective solutions to the persistent challenges of interoperability, cost, and accessibility in cross-border payments across Africa.

Lengo Pay, a fintech solution developed by a Guinean startup, announced its expansion into Morocco on Tuesday, June 24. The Conakry-based startup, founded in 2024 by Thierno Ibrahim Diallo, enables users to make payments, send or receive money, pay bills, and manage a digital wallet without geographic limitations.

The solution operates through a web-based interface rather than a mobile app. It provides a technological infrastructure designed to connect mobile wallets, banks, and merchants. Lengo Pay relies on a robust and scalable API that facilitates the integration of its services into third-party applications, particularly for merchants, e-commerce platforms, and financial institutions.

Beyond its technology, the fintech promotes a strong inclusion agenda. It targets both unbanked users and small businesses or informal workers by offering an alternative to traditional financial channels. This aligns with public policies that leverage digital finance to expand access to essential services.

The solution is compatible with several existing mobile payment systems, making it relevant in fragmented environments where various operators coexist.

Currently in its rollout phase, Lengo Pay aims to structure its offering around concrete use cases such as diaspora remittances, cross-border payments for merchants, and the digitization of public payments. Its vision is to build “an online payment gateway designed to meet the diverse needs of the modern commercial landscape.”
