History

Nsano is one of the first Ghanaian Fintech companies to receive the Payment Service Provider (Enhanced) License from the Bank of Ghana in 2021.[2][3] Nsano is currently headquartered in Ghana. In 2019 they set up a fraud management center and got awarded their ISO 27001:2013 certificate.[4][5]

In 2019 they were awarded a grant of $250,000 as part of the Remittance Grant Facility challenge.[6]

In March 2023 Nsano celebrated 10 years of its existence as a Fintech Company.[7] Nsano created a platform to help customer secure mobile money payments helping fight fraud.[8][9]

In January 2025 Nsano announced Priscilla Hazel as their new CEO who will take over from former CEO and Founder Kofi Owusu-Nhyira.[10]

Nsano has partnered with Arab Financial Services (AFS) to transform the payment ecosystem by connecting mobile money and card payments through the combined technology and expertise of both companies.[11][12]

They also have been received the Payment Aggregation and Payment Remittances Service Licenses (Category II and III) by the National Bank of Rwanda. This follows them setting up an office in Rwanda.[13]
