Intreensic to transform payments education, consulting in Africa

Intreensic, a payments education and advisory group, has launched with a mission to bridge Africa’s payment and fintech talent gap by equipping professionals and businesses with world-class payments expertise.

Founded by Nkebet Mesele, a globally recognised payments expert and thought leader, Intreensic aims to address the critical need for structured training and certification in the payments sector across Africa.

“The payments ecosystem is evolving rapidly, yet many professionals struggle to access structured learning and industry-recognised credentials,” said Mesele.

“At Intreensic, we bring together a world-class faculty with deep industry expertise, combining global best practices with localized insights tailored to Africa’s unique market dynamics. Our goal is to equip individuals and businesses with the educational certifications, knowledge, and skills necessary to thrive in the rapidly evolving global payments industry.”

The launch of Intreensic comes at a time when Africa’s digital payments sector is experiencing significant growth. According to Statista, revenue from offline and online electronic payments in Africa is expected to increase by 152 percent by the end of 2025, rising from 15 billion U.S. dollars in 2020 to approximately 39 billion U.S. dollars.

The continent also leads globally in mobile money adoption, with Africa accounting for 70 percent of the world’s $1 trillion mobile money market, according to a 2022 report by Quartz.

Intreensic operates across three key pillars: consulting, training and certification, and talent resourcing. Through its consulting services, the company helps businesses define and implement digital and payment strategies tailored to the African market.

The training and certification programs range from foundational courses like “Introduction to Payments” to advanced industry-recognized credentials in areas such as cybersecurity, remittances, and fintech operations. These programs are designed to provide professionals with practical, market-relevant expertise.

The talent resourcing arm connects trained professionals with corporations seeking skilled talent, ensuring a consistent pipeline of industry-ready experts.

With participants already enrolled from Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Botswana, and Namibia, Intreensic is leveraging a state-of-the-art learning management system to deliver flexible and accessible training solutions. While headquartered in Lagos, the company’s digital learning platform enables professionals across the continent to access its educational programs remotely.

“With a growing community of learners, we are equipping Africa’s payments ecosystem with world-class expertise, empowering businesses to scale, innovate, and compete globally,” Mesele said.
