Stanchion has announced a new reseller partnership with TaiFintech Kenya, supporting efforts to expand access to advanced Payment Fabric solutions across East Africa.
“We are seeing a growing demand globally for flexible and future-ready payment infrastructure. Our partnership with TaiFintech supports our strategy to extend access to Stanchion’s Payment Fabric, helping issuers in Kenya drive innovation and remain competitive,” says Norman Frankel, chief growth officer at Stanchion.
Financial institutions in East Africa face increasing pressure to meet digital-first customer expectations while managing the limitations of legacy systems and resource constraints.
Formed through a partnership between BCK Kenya and Strathmore University, TaiFintech blends commercial, academic and research excellence to deliver tailored digital solutions.
Accredited under the Mastercard Engage Partner Programme, Stanchion delivers a suite of digital-first capabilities – including tokenisation, dynamic card security codes, PIN management and modern issuer services – designed to help banks meet rising customer expectations for secure, seamless payment experiences.
“This collaboration enables our clients to transition smoothly through digital change, modernise legacy systems and deliver secure, innovative experiences to their customers,” say Dr Joseph Sevilla and Pat Muthui, founding directors of Tai Fintech.
“Our Payment Fabric technology enables issuers to deliver the secure, digital card experiences that today’s customers expect, while also modernising legacy systems and improving operational efficiency,” says Pierre Aurel, chief product officer at Stanchion. “What sets Payment Fabric apart is its ability to layer new functionality onto existing card management systems (CMS), without needing to replace or overhaul core infrastructure. This provides a lower-risk, more cost-effective path to innovation, especially compared to migrating to cloud-based issuer processors.”
