Boosting Revenue and Solving Payment Failures in Africa: Payment Orchestration Explained with Nader Abdelrazik
Episode 132 is with Nader Abdelrazik, Co-Founder and CEO of MoneyHash, a company that addresses all payment needs, helping businesses build, optimise, and scale their payment infrastructure at any stage of growth.
MoneyHash recently raised $4.5 million to combat payment failures across the MEA region, despite a significant funding slowdown. They achieved this remarkable feat by tripling their revenue and increasing transaction volume by an astonishing 3,000% post-beta, making them a highly attractive investment.
Unlike many companies in the Middle East and Africa that replicate successful Western models, MoneyHash competes head-to-head with international players, standing on equal footing with their Western counterparts.
Nader is also passionate about the pressing issue of brain drain and the need for more category-defining companies in the region to retain top talent.
What We Discuss With Nader
- Identifying the need for a payment orchestration platform in the MEA region and the challenges initially faced.
- What differentiates MoneyHash's platform from other payment gateways in Africa?

- What factors contributed to the tripling of revenue and the 3,000% increase in volume post-beta?
