Kotani Pay, a leading financial technology company and Web3 infrastructure provider focused on enabling seamless on- and off-ramping of digital assets across Africa, is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with FinFan, Vietnam’s financial connectivity platform aggregating cross-border remittance flows. Together, the two companies will strengthen stablecoin liquidity connectivity and cross-border payment infrastructure between Asia and Africa.

This partnership positions FinFan as a key strategic gateway for inbound remittances in Vietnam, while Kotani Pay leverages Tether’s capabilities to serve as a primary liquidity provider for global partners. The collaboration is designed to unlock new cross-border corridors, enabling partners across Asia and Africa to access reliable liquidity and payout rails faster, more securely, and at significantly lower cost.

The Asia–Africa Corridor

The Asia–Africa corridor is rapidly emerging as one of the most critical pathways for global trade, remittances, and financial flows. Fueled by growing bilateral trade, strong diaspora ties, and a shared appetite for digital innovation, both regions stand to benefit from interoperable and cost-efficient financial infrastructure. As Vietnamese and African businesses deepen cooperation across manufacturing, agriculture, fintech, and commerce, the demand for real-time, reliable, and affordable cross-border money movement has never been higher.

In both Vietnam and Africa, the demand for instant liquidity is intensifying, spurred by economic volatility, currency devaluation, and the need for efficient cross-border value transfer. Businesses and individuals are increasingly leveraging stablecoin-powered rails to facilitate remittances, B2B payments, and treasury functions more efficiently.

Vietnam has quickly emerged as a digitally innovative nation in Southeast Asia, while Africa continues to lead the globe in grassroots adoption of new financial technologies, particularly around digital asset utility. This partnership aligns with the growing preference for secure, transparent, and tech-enabled financial solutions in emerging markets.
