Enza, a firm specializing in payment systems for Africa, has completed a $6 million Seed+ funding drive. The round, spearheaded by 4DX Ventures, will fuel its push into untapped regions while enhancing digital payment capabilities for banks and fintech firms operating across the continent.
British International Investment (BII), the UK’s development finance arm, joined as a new participant in the funding. Quona Capital and Algebra Ventures, which previously backed Enza’s 2025 seed round, also expanded their investments in the company.
The platform delivers technology that helps financial institutions upgrade their operations, streamline cross-channel payments, and optimize transaction handling through a centralized system. This approach tackles inefficiencies stemming from legacy payment networks, especially as both consumers and businesses shift toward diverse digital payment methods.
While Africa’s payment ecosystem has evolved beyond card-based transactions, many institutions still rely on costly, outdated systems resistant to modernization. Enza’s solution offers a more agile framework, enabling banks to roll out new services without overhauling their existing infrastructure.

The funding will prioritize entry into new African markets where digital payments are key to economic growth and national development goals. Hany Fekry, Enza’s CEO, noted that the involvement of both returning and first-time investors reflected strong confidence in the company’s trajectory and its ability to serve financial institutions across the region.
Daniel Marlo, 4DX Ventures’ managing partner, pointed to a widening divide between evolving payment needs and traditional banking systems, calling Enza’s innovation a critical response to industry demands. BII also stressed how modern payment infrastructure could cut costs, broaden financial access, and empower small and medium-sized enterprises.
With additional capital in hand, Enza will advance its infrastructure to support greater financial inclusion through streamlined digital services. The company’s strategy mirrors successful payment initiatives in other emerging economies and could deliver comparable benefits in Africa.
This financial boost solidifies Enza’s position as it broadens its regional presence and strengthens partnerships with financial institutions. As competition intensifies among payment technology providers, the company’s focus on institutional support and infrastructure enhancement may help it sustain its market leadership.
