JOHANNESBURG, Sept. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — **XTransfer**, the world’s leading B2B
cross-border trade payment platform, reinforced its commitment to serving SMEs across
Africa through its first participation in **Seamless Africa 2026**, held 8–9 September.
The debut reflects XTransfer’s growing focus on enabling legitimate, secure cross-
border trade that supports real-economy supply chains across the continent.

"Our debut at Seamless Africa reflects a clear focus: working more closely with 
African financial institutions to better serve SME trade," said **Ray Ren, UK CEO
at XTransfer**. "By joining XTransfer’s **X-Net** network, banks and payment partners
can access services such as **Pay to China**, **Pay to Global**, and **Local-Currency
Collection**, capabilities that help them support SME clients they were previously
unable to serve effectively. Together, we can reduce cross-border payment friction,
strengthen compliant trade flows, and enable more SMEs to participate confidently
in Africa’s real-economy supply chains."

XTransfer’s participation comes as it continues to expand its footprint across Africa,
helping SMEs engaged in international trade access a more unified payment experience.
In many markets, SMEs still face friction when making and receiving trade payments,
including complex processes and delays that can strain cash flow and disrupt supply
chains. Where reliable options are limited, some businesses may feel pressured to
rely on informal channels, creating avoidable compliance and transparency risks 
for the wider ecosystem.

To address these challenges, XTransfer works with international and local banks 
and financial institutions to strengthen payment infrastructure and facilitate compliant
trade payments. In Africa, XTransfer partners with **Flutterwave**, a leading payments
technology company, to support importers in **Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa**
to pay for goods conveniently in local currency, while helping Asian exporters receive
reliable settlement, supporting smoother trade flows across key Africa–Asia corridors.

XTransfer’s Seamless Africa debut also follows broader momentum across the Middle
East and Africa. In **September 2026**, XTransfer announced it had secured **in-
principle approval** for a **Retail Payment Services Licence** from the **Central
Bank of the UAE**. Subject to completing pre-issuance conditions, the licence would
enable XTransfer to expand regulated services in the UAE and support businesses 
engaged in international trade with compliant, secure, and efficient payment solutions,
strengthening connectivity across Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
