MONT-SAINT-GUIBERT, Belgium - OpenWay, a top-ranked digital banking and payment software provider, has announced two new implementation partners in East Africa — TechNote Limited, along with iCon Transactions and Tracing Technologies Limited (iT&TT). These new additions to OpenWay’s partner network will allow its clients to reduce time-to-market for innovative digital payments solutions in East Africa and beyond.

TechNote Limited and iT&TT were chosen as OpenWay implementation partners since they have already demonstrated high skills and commitment in assisting with deployments, turnkey testing and onsite support for activities with OpenWay clients in East Africa. Both companies bring many years of expertise in managing and delivering payment systems, including gateways, ATM and POS, web and mobile interfaces.

"OpenWay is already well-positioned for the future in SSA, since the leading financial institutions in the region have been relying on the Way4 payment platform for many years now. Nevertheless, we are delighted to welcome TechNote and iT&TT to OpenWay’s trusted, certified and valued regional ecosystem. We hope that through our joint projects we will deliver more end-to-end payment solutions and services like testing, R&D and support for the benefit of our customers."
