Enza Raises $6 Million Seed+ to Connect African Financial Institutions to Payment Networks
4DX Ventures led the round, joined by British International Investment and existing investors Quona Capital and Algebra Ventures, as Enza expands its unified infrastructure layer.
LONDON — Enza, a payments-infrastructure provider focused on Africa, announced a $6 million Seed+ round on Nov. 3, 2026. 4DX Ventures led the financing, with British International Investment joining existing investors Quona Capital and Algebra Ventures.
Founded in 2022, Enza provides a technology layer that allows financial institutions to connect to international card networks and local payment systems without building separate integrations for each connection. The company says the new capital will support market expansion, additional regulatory licensing and product development.
A unified connection layer can reduce duplicated technical work for banks and fintechs operating across fragmented payment markets. It does not remove the need for local scheme rules, settlement arrangements, compliance programs, uptime commitments and reconciliation across each market.
The funding announcement establishes Enza’s expansion plans, not completed licensing or guaranteed network availability in every country. Financial institutions evaluating the platform will still need to assess coverage, direct and indirect costs, operational resilience, data controls and the responsibilities assigned to each party.
