Kesheni Moodley joins Paymentology to Drive Growth Across Africa

Johannesburg, 19 January - Paymentology, the leading global issuer-processor, today announced the appointment of Kesheni Moodley as Regional Director for Africa, further strengthening its regional leadership as demand for modern, cloud-first issuing infrastructure accelerates across African markets. 

Paymentology has a long-standing presence in Africa, working closely with banks, fintechs and mobile money providers across the region to deliver differentiated payment propositions and customer experiences through next-generation card technology.  

Building on this foundation, Kesheni brings more than 20 years’ experience across the ICT, payments and enterprise technology sectors, spanning client relationship development, commercial leadership, business development and operational transformation. In her new role, she will focus on expanding Paymentology’s programme management capabilities, deepening client relationships and growing the company’s footprint across the continent. 

She joins Paymentology from Ozow, where she most recently served as Chief Commercial Officer, following several years as Head of Client Success. During her tenure, she played a central role in driving commercial strategy, strengthening client relationships and supporting the growth of real-time payments adoption across South Africa. 

Prior to Ozow, Kesheni held senior leadership roles at Accenture, where she spent nearly six years leading operations consulting and transformation services, as well as sales leadership roles focused on large-scale enterprise clients. Earlier in her career, she held client executive and business development roles at IBM and Siemens.  

Anna Porra, Chief Revenue Officer at Paymentology commented on Kesheni’s appointment: “Kesheni brings an exceptional breadth of commercial and operational experience, combined with a deep understanding of the regional market. Her ability to balance growth, client value and operational excellence will be critical as we continue to support fintechs and banks across Africa in building resilient, scalable and locally relevant payment products.” 

Kesheni Moodley, Regional Director Africa at Paymentology, added: “Having spent much of my career working across Africa’s communications, technology and payments ecosystems, I’ve seen first-hand the impact digitisation can have at scale. As mobile-first adoption accelerates and expectations for always-on, inclusive payment experiences grow, Paymentology enables issuers to scale with confidence. I’m excited to work closely with our clients and partners to support the next phase of growth across the continent.”
