The African payment company Zone has announced the completion of an $8.5 million seed funding round led by venture capital firms Flourish Ventures and TLcom Capital.
The press release says that the startup is creating a decentralized blockchain-based payment infrastructure for financial service providers on the continent and beyond.
"The Zone network provides payment services for financial service providers and their customers. The company holds a unique position as Africa's first regulated blockchain network for payments and has already signed agreements with more than 15 major African banks and fintech companies," the statement said.
