Intreensic, a payments education and advisory group, has launched to address Africa’s growing need for skilled professionals in the payments and fintech sectors. Founded by Nkebet Mesele, a globally recognized payments expert, Intreensic provides structured training, certification, and strategic consulting to equip individuals and businesses with world-class expertise.
Bridging the Knowledge Gap
“The payments industry is evolving rapidly, yet many professionals lack access to structured learning and recognized credentials,” said Mesele, Founder and CEO of Intreensic.
We bring together a top-tier faculty, combining global best practices with localized insights tailored to Africa’s unique market dynamics. Our goal is to empower professionals and businesses with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive.
The demand for payments expertise in Africa is growing. Statista predicts that revenue from electronic payments in Africa will surge. This will be 152% from $15 billion in 2020 to $39 billion by 2025. Additionally, Quartz reports that Africa accounts for 70% of the world’s $1 trillion mobile money market. This further highlighting the sector’s rapid expansion.
A Three-Pillar Approach
Intreensic operates across three key areas:
- Consulting – Helping businesses develop and implement digital and payment strategies suited to the African market.
- Training & Certification – Offering structured learning programs, from foundational courses like ‘Introduction to Payments’ to advanced credentials in cybersecurity, remittances, and fintech operations.
- Talent Resourcing – Connecting trained professionals with companies seeking skilled payments and fintech talent, ensuring a steady pipeline of industry-ready experts.
Scaling Innovation Across Africa
Intreensic has already enrolled participants from Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia. Leveraging a state-of-the-art digital learning platform, the company ensures flexible, accessible, and high-impact training for professionals across Africa.
“Though headquartered in Lagos, our digital platform allows learners from across the continent to access top-tier training remotely,” Mesele added. “By equipping Africa’s payments ecosystem with world-class expertise, we empower businesses to scale, innovate, and compete globally.”
As part of its expansion strategy. Intreensic plans to establish local operations in key markets such as Kenya and South Africa. The company also partners with leading corporations, regulators, and industry bodies to drive professionalization and innovation in Africa’s payments sector.
