This is the country’s national instant payment system. As of 14 July 2026, all interoperable retail payment transactions between banks and electronic money issuers are processed through eKash.
It is Rwanda’s national digital payment system for instant money transfers working between participating banks and mobile money providers. It aims to make digital payments faster, simpler, more affordable, more secure and more inclusive.
Interoperable payment systems are a critical building block to increase financial inclusion and build a more connected digital economy,” said the National Bank of Rwanda. Rwanda hopes to reduce friction in digital transactions while encouraging greater use of electronic payments over cash by placing all domestic interoperable retail payments on one national platform.
