MSTRpay, the fast-growing fintech and neobanking platform, has announced its entry into Burundi, signing agreements in Bujumbura that will strengthen its footprint in the East African nation’s financial sector.
Focus on financial inclusion
The initiative will introduce digital banking services tailored to local needs, with an emphasis on microloans designed to support underserved communities. By offering easier access to credit and modern financial tools, MSTRpay aims to expand financial inclusion and contribute to economic resilience in the country.
Partnership with local banks
To ensure compliance with national regulations and long-term stability, MSTRpay is partnering with licensed Burundian banks. These collaborations are intended to create a scalable and sustainable structure, combining the firm’s advanced digital systems with the trust and reach of local financial institutions.
A key step in African growth strategy
“Burundi represents a vital step in our African growth strategy,” an MSTRpay spokesperson said. “By combining our advanced digital banking solutions with trusted local banking partners, we will accelerate access to finance in one of the most promising emerging markets.”
Global expansion continues
The move into Burundi is part of MSTRpay’s wider expansion across Africa, Latin America, and Asia. The company is targeting economies where digital-first banking is increasingly seen as a driver of growth, with Burundi now positioned as a strategic hub in East Africa.
