Pan African Fintech Ukheshe Technologies Announces Its Partnership With AWS
Pan African Fintech Ukheshe Technologies Announces Its Partnership With AWS. Pan African fintech enabler Ukheshe Technologies has partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to enhance its ability to scale on demand and enter territories that require fast and secure transactions. By participating in the AWS Partner Network (APN), Ukheshe is also able to enhance its own offering at scale.
Commenting on the scale of the partnership between Ukheshe and AWS, Ukheshe President of Global Partnerships, Donovan Drew, explains how customers can onboard to Ukheshe’s global Eclipse API payment orchestration framework within weeks. Ukheshe enabled Telkom Pay, an embedded finance solution, for one of South Africa’s largest telcos, Telkom. The Eclipse API also enables cross border remittance services, Drew also said in a statement, “The unicorns of Africa like Chipper Cash have selected our platform to scale at speed in territories across the globe with the ability to move cash effectively and efficiently, at a fraction of the cost banks typically charge. It’s these unique value propositions that provide cost effective financial inclusion offerings and encourage large African fintech players like Sasai and MTN MoMo to scale with us.”
Ukheshe now leverages Amazon Elastics Container Service (Amazon ECS) to run highly secure, reliable containers, enabling it to save up to 50 percent on computing costs with autonomous provisioning, auto-scaling, and pay-as you-go pricing. Amazon ECS is ideal as the service integrates seamlessly with AWS management and governance solutions which are standardised for compliance with virtually every regulatory agency around the globe.
Ukheshe makes use of Amazon ECS which allows Ukheshe’s financial services enterprises to leverag to run containerised applications that require particularly low latencies to on-premise systems. Amazon Outposts is a fully managed service that extends AWS infrastructure, AWS services, APIs, and tools to virtually any connected site.
