Instant Payments Namibia

It's largely implemented to address financial exclusion, to reach people in marginalized communities who are under-served, who don't have direct access to banking services.

- Marsorry Ickua, Chief Operating Officer of Instant Payments Namibia (IPN)

OUR VALUES

We Understand the Barriers That Keep Namibians From Fully Participating in the Digital Economy

Whether you're a pensioner in a rural village or a vendor in the city, IPN creates a fairer, more connected financial ecosystem that lets you transact where you are, with the tools you already use.
