Who we are
01
An African technology company
Since processing our first transaction in 2015, we've helped over 400,000 small businesses across South Africa accept card payments and access capital – often for the first time.
02
A builder of new markets
We're establishing new markets; building business tools and financial services that work for entrepreneurs. We believe that when commerce is open and business owners have the tools they need to grow, the economy thrives.
03
The future of payments in Africa
We've raised $170M from some of the leading institutional investors in the world such as TPG, Dragoneer, Partech, Velocity, Quona, Raba, 4DX and more. They're backing us to get South Africa – and eventually the entire continent – paid.
04
Home to a new generation of leaders
We have over 330 developers, creatives, connectors and enablers working across our key hubs in South Africa and the Netherlands. All committed to delivering world class payments and software solutions to small businesses.

What Yoco does?
That's up to you.
Growing the economy through technology
We go deep and solve tough problems so that our merchants can focus on what they do best – growing the economy.
We build mobile apps that power small businesses and help them get paid. Created with cutting edge technologies like Swift, Kotlin and React-Native.
Our powerful payment processing backends move money fast. This means our merchants can run their businesses without worrying about the layer beneath.
Our data platform is designed not only to enable the business to make decisions, but to empower merchants and their customers too.

A few of our people
Distributed ∞ Connected
We have an office space, but we choose to work from wherever we thrive.
We create flexibility, but certain roles are location-dependent.
We're biased towards a single timezone (Europe, Middle East & Africa - EMEA).
We default to virtual engagement and documentation to be inclusive.
We're intentional about how we connect – with merchants and teammates.
We embrace digital tools, working asynchronously and pragmatically.
We take an outcome-based orientation. It's not just what you put in.
We gather in person at least once a year; more frequently in teams.
