Arifpay Financial Technologies S.C. and KLIK Investment PLC have signed a strategic partnership agreement aimed at expanding digital payment services and technology-driven business operations in Ethiopia.
Under the agreement signed in Addis Ababa on October 19, KLIK will introduce Arifpay’s digital payment solutions to restaurants within its partner network, including point-of-sale (POS) and QR-code payment systems.
The partnership will also cover payment gateway services and bulk payments, while creating opportunities for the two companies to undertake joint marketing and promotional activities in the future.
