Vision Statement: “Africa with easy-to-use and accessible payment instruments”
African Vending Systems is a limited liability company, registered in Uganda and registered with the Uganda Investment Authority. PayWay® is a registered business name and trademark for African Vending Systems Limited as well as AVS, therefore the two may be used interchangeably. When AVS was first established on the African market in 2009, we officially became the first electronic payment system on the African continent. It took us barely a year to transition from a budding company to a fully-fledged functioning company with our first online payment processed on the 25th of May 2010 in favour of Uganda Telecom Ltd.
From then on, we have experienced company development and consequently our popularity has become profound. The company’s reputation has been built upon solid performance at reasonable rates. Our product has remained robust and has been appreciated by a welcoming feedback from both clients and partners. PayWay has operations in Uganda and preparations are under way to extend to other African countries. PayWay has developed and implemented a payment platform that is integrated with self-service-kiosks, mobile point of sale terminals, mobile operating systems as Android, iOS and Blackberry and other cross-platform systems, USSD capable devices and via web-based interface.
A number of service providers have come on board and their consumers can have the convenience of seamless payment for various services in real time, without queues, and at any time. Some of the service providers include UMEME, Uganda Telecom, Orange, Orange Internet, MTN, Airtel, Warid Telecom, Multichoice DStv and GOtv, StarTimes, Datanet dPhone, Sanlam Insurance, Foris Telecom IN Connecting, Tangerine Internet and other providers that have shown interest in integration.
