Content: This is what separates merchant cross-sell automation from traditional relationship management.

A white-label merchant engagement platform should deliver the full merchant-facing experience - app, communications, dashboards, and notifications - under the acquiring institution’s brand, not the technology vendor’s. Beyond branding, it must offer real-time integration with core banking and payment rails, behavioural segmentation tools, and built-in cohort analytics. Platforms that require vendor involvement for every campaign change will not scale with the pace of merchant portfolio growth.

Win-back campaigns in African markets work best when they are triggered by predictive dormancy signals rather than waiting for a merchant to become fully inactive.

This not only gamifies the payment process but also provides merchants with tangible incentives to use the app regularly.

Content: The proliferation of mobile money agent merchants adds further complexity to KYC tiering requirements.

Across all three markets, the common thread is this: compliance is non-negotiable, but the manual execution of compliance checks is what makes onboarding slow, expensive driving merchant drop-off before the acquiring relationship even begins.

A deeper structural challenge underlies this: many African markets have inherited compliance frameworks designed for formalised, first-world economies - frameworks that assume documented business identities, reliable registry databases, and standardised address systems. Applied to highly fragmented, informal economies, these structures create friction that disproportionately excludes the very merchants banks are trying to acquire.

Question: What is How African Banks Can Digitise KYC/KYB for Faster Merchant Onboarding?

Speed without compliance rigour is not a solution - it is a liability.
