Building the money movement layer for Africa
Stablecoin infrastructure built in Africa, with compliance built in from day one.
CowriePay gives African businesses the wallets, collections and payouts to move money in stablecoins, through one API and one dashboard.
It ships with the controls a compliance team signs off on: screening on every deposit, allowlists and optional approval workflows on the way out, and an audit trail on sensitive actions.

Why now
African businesses already use stablecoins to settle across borders. Most do it through exchange accounts and hand-managed wallets: no roles, no approval flows, no audit trail. CowriePay builds that missing layer, the controls that let stablecoin operations pass a finance and compliance review.
Built by COWRIEX
CowriePay is built and operated by COWRIEX, the team behind the CowrieDesk exchange. Running a live trading platform is a daily lesson in custody and compliance, and CowriePay inherits that discipline, from signing isolation to append-only audit trails.
See how we secure itHow we operate
Controls before volume
Withdrawal allowlists are on by default from go-live, a second approver can be required above a threshold you set, and every deposit is screened. We ship the boring safety first.
Real rails
The sandbox runs on real testnets and the docs describe the product as it is. One API host: the key decides Sandbox or Live.
Built for African money movement
Designed for businesses moving money across borders, from the continent to anywhere their counterparties are.
Where we are going
We start with wallet-as-a-service and are expanding toward broader stablecoin payment flows (hosted checkout, invoicing) and settlement to local currency.
