for African Businesses

DUBAI - June 3, 2025 – Kyriba, a global leader in liquidity performance, and Investec, a leading international bank and wealth manager, today announced a strategic collaboration to launch API (Application Programming Interface)-powered payment connectivity, enabling real-time payments for enterprises across Central, Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa (CEEMEA).

Mutual customers operating through Kyriba’s platform can now seamlessly connect to their Investec account – powered by Kyriba’s API network. Kyriba’s Bank-Connectivity-as-a-Service (BCaaS) solutions also allow Investec to connect to a broader set of customers via APIs in a secure and efficient manner - with the inaugural customer, a US-based company, already onboarded..

Our solutions empower finance teams to focus on strategic decision-making and growth initiatives.”

Offering the largest connectivity ecosystem within the liquidity management space, Kyriba’s network enables customers to seamlessly connect with over 9,900 banks using a variety of connection protocols, including APIs, H2H and SWIFT. By integrating Investec into Kyriba’s Marketplace, shared customers can enable instant payments directly from their Kyriba dashboard.

Known for its market-leading caliber of service and expertise, Investec has embraced APIs to enhance its digital banking capabilities and client experience. Leveraging this technology has enabled Investec to provide their clients with tools to build, connect, and scale faster.

Devina Maharaj, Head of Investec’s Client API Channel, added: “At Investec, we believe technology innovation should be centered around solving human problems. By combining human insight with innovative API-powered solutions, we’re enabling businesses to solve real-world problems in smarter, more connected ways.
