Africa Regional Overview TSYS WORLDWIDE. Delivering expertise to 400 clients in 80 countries, building innovative and cost-effective solutions that perfect your payment strategies. Bringing a wealth of global experience to Africa.
The African payments business is being reshaped by unique market characteristics that define the way buyers and sellers connect. The consumer finance market is unevenly developed, the competitive landscape is tightening, the cost of doing business is increasing and the potential for growth is incredible. Against this backdrop lie significant opportunities for financial institutions with the agility to innovate. Let us share our global expertise and help you succeed with highly flexible solutions tailored to meet your ambitions. Although the many African markets possess unique financial services architectures in different stages of evolution and development, several common themes are apparent. Against a background of increasing levels of competition, fuelled by consolidation and market development, significant growth is widely expected in the retail lending sector, especially in prepaid and debit. Whilst the African market ranges from highly-developed South Africa to some of the less developed markets in the world, one key business concern they share is how best to support the needs of traditional and high-networth customers whilst meeting the needs of the largely untapped unbanked market. Outside the major urban centres, banking penetration is extremely low and distribution structures, including the use of ATMs and branch networks, are largely undeveloped. Technology, and especially mobile, is considered the most important driver of change in most African markets and the vast potential for strong growth in banking systems and services clearly evident. As a global payments solution provider, TSYS can help turn these challenges into opportunities with the right solutions, expertise and experience to help you achieve cost efficiencies and best position your business for growth. TSYS provides EMV-compliant support for multiple countries, multiple languages and multiple currencies, offering a broad range of technology solutions, including mobile and branchless banking. Offered in both licensed and outsourced delivery models, or a combination of the two, we give you options that are tailored for your business. This is the type of flexibility that characterises TSYS throughout the world.

Africa Regional Overview SELLERS: Accepting virtually any form of payment Today s merchants look starkly different than their predecessors. In fact, the shop owner who spends the day waiting behind the counter is being displaced by a new type of merchant one who is increasingly both physical and virtual, on the go and who isn t willing to wait passively for customers.

From authorising and capturing electronic payments at the point of sale (POS) to clearing and settling merchant transactions, to managing merchant terminals and providing information management services; we support acquirers in effectively managing and growing their merchant portfolios. Not only is it important to build relationships with the end consumer, but the merchants they do business with. We achieve this through: PRIME Fraudguard has demonstrated considerable benefits, and it has played a significant role in reducing our exposure to fraud. [Our fraud solution] has been tailor made to suit our needs that include providing practical suggestions to identify, detect and prevent fraud. Our fraud level has reduced by 60 percent since installation of this system. We have been able to save about USD$35,000 every year. The after-sale service has also been excellent. I would recommend PRIME Fraudguard to any bank.
