Hubtel, an indigenous eCommerce & SMS messaging company, has entered into a partnership with Visa, to expand access to seamless payments on its eCommerce platform.

This partnership with Visa provides consumers with access to more merchant services on Hubtel’s eCommerce platforms. It also allows Hubtel to explore further innovative payment services such as “tap to phone,” amongst others, to reduce the dependency on cash, especially among small businesses.
