A Structured Approach to Digitalisation

We do not impose systems. We work with institutions to design and test workflows based on their legal requirements.

1

Identify Applicable Commitments

We review the applicable trade commitments (e.g., AfCFTA Protocols) and the relevant national procedures.

2

Agree Institutional Requirements

We define responsible actors, information-access rules, and the specific institutional requirements needed to support the process.

3

Design and Test Workflows

We design and test the corresponding digital workflows with participating businesses and authorities in a secure environment.

4

Evaluate and Integrate

We evaluate the results and identify requirements for wider implementation, including potential integration with national systems.

De-risking Cross-Border Payments

AFTSC integrates directly with continental trade finance infrastructure to eliminate currency conversion barriers and reduce transaction costs for your national businesses.

Through our alignment with the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) and the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System (PAPSS), buyers and sellers can transact in local currencies, while the platform ensures regulatory compliance and settlement finality.
