A note on eligibility
Every merchant goes through business verification before going live. Some types of business may not be eligible, depending on what they sell, how they operate and the licences they hold.
Final decisions are made by Lyonga together with our partner Lipila, a licensed payment service provider. If you are unsure whether your business qualifies, ask us before you apply.
