Egypt’s enza raises $6m seed+ round to expand payments infrastructure across Africa 0 By Tom Jackson on November 9, 2026 News , North Africa Egyptian payments infrastructure startup enza has raised US$6 million in a seed+ funding round to help it expand operations across Africa.

enza raised US$6.75 million in seed funding in March 2025, and it has now followed that up with a US$6 million seed+ round led by 4DX Ventures, with British International Investment (BII) joining as a new investor. Quona Capital and Algebra Ventures, which co-led enza’s seed round (an early stage of company funding) last year, added to their positions.

Banks connect through a single integration to enza’s platform while keeping control of their merchants and data. The company currently serves bank and fintech clients in 12 countries.

enza will use the new funding to expand into new markets, particularly those where payments digitisation is both a major opportunity and a national priority, and to secure the additional licences needed to serve more banks and fintechs there. Daniel Marlo, managing partner at 4DX Ventures, said payments in Africa had moved well beyond cards and become truly omni-channel, yet the infrastructure banks depend on had not kept pace.
