When commerce is open, we all thrive
Yoco exists to give entrepreneurs a platform to grow. When small business thrives, the economy does too.
Why we exist
Opening commerce
Yoco is an African technology company. We create opportunities for entrepreneurs to get paid and be more successful. We break down barriers and create access so that more businesses can participate in the economy and thrive.
Creating a market
We're establishing new markets; building business tools and financial services that work for entrepreneurs. We're making payments accessible for small businesses, wherever they are in their journey.
In good company
We've raised over $100M from some of the world's leading technology investors, who have backed companies like Nubank, Square and Stone. Now they're backing us to get South Africa – and eventually the entire continent – paid.
We create the platform for entrepreneurs to grow

The idea
Make it as simple as possible for small business owners to accept card payments, in-person and online.
