From there, businesses can make bank transfers, mobile money, airtime, and data transfers to their teams, beneficiaries, and staff.

Xente’s Visa debit card has several use cases, including online payments, employee spend management, petty cash expenses, fuel expenses, foreign travel spend, and employee benefits.

The API integration of the Xente Visa debit card also makes it easy for businesses to incorporate it into their existing systems.

Automating Financial Management

Lyn Tukei, Head of Public Relations and Marketing at Xente, notes that businesses are able to save time and money while ensuring proper accountability.

For instance, businesses can send money to as many people as they want across various networks without needing to walk to a mobile money agent.

Automation also helps businesses approve every payment, track every transaction in real-time, manage money across teams, branches, and/or countries, and sync data with their accounting platforms.

Creating an Account on Xente

Creating an account on Xente is easy and straightforward. All businesses need to do is log on to the Xente website, and if they are already registered, they can simply log in and see the various features available to them.

If they are new, they will need to provide simple KYCs like the certificate of incorporation to confirm that they are a registered business. From there, they can start sending out bulk SMS, data, mobile money, airtime, and bank transfers, and issue virtual and physical visa cards.

All that’s needed is an Excel sheet of all the targeted beneficiaries, and businesses can automate all their payments in real-time.

The Impact of 40 Days 40 FinTechs Initiative

Xente is the fourth participant in Season Four 40 Days 40 FinTechs initiative, which seeks to accelerate and highlight the impact of FinTechs in the lives of under-served populations. The initiative has helped elevate the FinTech space in East Africa, increasing awareness of FinTechs, especially in rural areas.

The initiative also provides FinTechs with useful tools and introduces them to emerging technologies like Mojaloop Open Source Software and guidance from Level One Project foundational material.

The Need for Licensing

Xente is a Bank of Uganda licensed Payments Systems Operator (PSO) in Uganda, with a license to issue any payment instrument such as the Xente Visa Card.

Tukei calls on other FinTechs to obtain formal licensing to be trusted by stakeholders, investors, and other partners.

Looking Ahead
