Supercharging instant global settlements. Stablecoin-powered liquidity, payouts and FX helping African payment companies move money without prefunding.

Profile

MANSA replaces the prefunding model with on-demand stablecoin capital — settling collections, payouts, FX and treasury through a single API, so payment companies can build cross-border products without the float, the friction, or the failed wires. MANSA is the liquidity layer behind the payment companies connecting the world’s fastest-growing markets: when a remittance operator in Lagos settles a payout in seconds, MANSA is the infrastructure making that possible.

Payment companies operating across borders still lock millions in prefunded accounts just to move money between markets. MANSA connects stablecoin liquidity directly to the banking networks and wallet infrastructure the world already runs on — so clients stop prefunding corridors and start deploying capital where it grows their business, while their customers get faster payouts, fewer failed transactions, and access to corridors previously too expensive to serve.

Founded by Mouloukou Sanoh (previously co-founder of Cassava, Africa’s largest web3 platform, and Forbes 30 Under 30) and Nkiru Uwaje (previously at SWIFT, with a decade in fintech across Africa and Europe), MANSA’s traction is significant: $582M+ in stablecoin volume, $301M+ in payments disbursed, and 40+ active corridors, trusted by licensed payment operators across Africa, LATAM, MENA and Southeast Asia. African corridors are core to the business — clients like WeWire (Ghana, Nigeria, UK, USA) run over 30% of their volume through MANSA with a 99% success rate, and ESCA Finance credits MANSA with strengthening same-day settlement across key African corridors including Nigeria, Ghana, West and Central Africa. The company raised $10 million in pre-seed and liquidity funding led by Tether, with participation from Polymorphic Capital, Octerra Capital, Faculty Group and Trive Digital.
