Intreensic, a payments education and advisory group, has launched with a mission to equip professionals and businesses in Africa with world-class payments expertise. The company aims to address the continent’s growing demand for structured training and certification in the payments sector.
Founded by Nkebet Mesele, a globally recognized payments expert, Intreensic seeks to provide professionals with the credentials and knowledge required to navigate the rapidly evolving payments ecosystem. “The payments ecosystem is evolving rapidly, yet many professionals struggle to access structured learning and industry-recognized credentials,” said Mesele, Founder and CEO of Intreensic. “Our goal is to equip individuals and businesses with the educational certifications, knowledge, and skills necessary to thrive in the rapidly evolving global payments industry.”
According to Statista, revenue from offline and online electronic payments in Africa is expected to grow by 152% by the end of 2025, increasing from $15 billion in 2020 to approximately $39 billion in 2025. Additionally, Africa accounted for 70% of the world’s $1 trillion mobile money market in 2022, highlighting the continent’s leadership in digital financial services.
Intreensic operates across three core pillars:
- Consulting: Assisting businesses in defining and implementing digital and payment strategies tailored to the African market.
- Training & Certification: Offering structured learning programs, from foundational courses such as ‘Introduction to Payments’ to advanced certifications in cybersecurity, remittances, and fintech operations.
- Talent Resourcing: Connecting trained professionals with corporates seeking skilled talent, ensuring a steady pipeline of industry-ready experts.
Intreensic has already enrolled participants from Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia. Using a state-of-the-art learning management system, the company provides flexible, accessible, and high-impact training solutions across Africa.
“While we are headquartered in Lagos, our digital learning platform enables professionals across Africa to access our training programs remotely. With a growing community of learners, we are equipping Africa’s payments ecosystem with world-class expertise, empowering businesses to scale, innovate, and compete globally,” Mesele added.
As part of its expansion strategy, Intreensic plans to establish localized operations in key African markets, including Kenya and South Africa. The company is also forging partnerships with leading corporations, regulators, and industry bodies to drive professionalization and innovation in Africa’s payments sector.
