Payment infrastructure provider Paymentology has appointed Kesheni Moodley as its Regional Director for Africa, a move that reflects growing demand for cloud-based issuing systems across the continent.
The appointment comes as banks, fintechs and mobile money providers in Africa continue to modernise their payment stacks. More institutions are shifting to digital-first models to meet rising consumer expectations for faster, reliable and always-on payments.
Paymentology has operated in Africa for several years, working with financial institutions to support card issuing and payment programmes. The company says Moodley’s role will focus on strengthening regional leadership, improving programme delivery and expanding relationships with existing and new clients.
Kesheni Moodley Joins Paymentology to Scale Cloud Issuing in Africa
Moodley brings more than two decades of experience across ICT, payments and enterprise technology. Her background spans commercial leadership, client management and operational change. In her new position, she will oversee Paymentology’s regional growth strategy and support customers as they scale payment products across multiple markets.
She joins the company from South African real-time payments firm Ozow, where she most recently served as Chief Commercial Officer. Before that, she led client success functions at the firm. During her time at Ozow, she was involved in shaping commercial strategy and supporting wider adoption of instant payments in the local market.
Earlier in her career, Moodley held senior roles at Accenture, focusing on operations consulting, transformation and enterprise sales. She also worked at IBM and Siemens in client executive and business development positions, gaining exposure to large, complex organisations across different industries.
Anna Porra, Chief Revenue Officer at Paymentology, said the appointment reflects the company’s focus on Africa as a priority growth region. She noted that Moodley’s mix of commercial and operational experience would support clients building payment systems that can scale while meeting local market needs.
Moodley said Africa’s payments landscape is entering a new phase, driven by mobile adoption and rising expectations from consumers and businesses. She added that reliable infrastructure will be key as more issuers roll out digital payment products across borders and customer segments.
