All Business Africa is a digital hub that offers country profiles, business directories, funding leads and know‑how for entrepreneurs and investors across the continent. Members pay for premium resources, consultants earn per engagement, and marketplace partners receive referral commissions. By embedding UbuntuLink’s wallet‑first payment stack, the platform can onboard users from 30 + countries without card rails, move earnings to content creators the same day, and hedge cross‑border FX when dollars are scarce.

• Payment challenges before UbuntuLink

  • Limited checkout options – Prospective members in mobile‑money‑heavy markets abandoned when they saw card‑only forms.

  • Manual partner payouts – Weekly bank files to analysts and directory curators delayed earnings and consumed finance time.

  • FX erosion – Paying researchers in multiple currencies through SWIFT swallowed up to 4 % in spreads and bank fees.

  • Fragmented contributor data – Phone numbers and ID details sat in separate spreadsheets, complicating KYC and clawbacks.
