SPENN has entered into an agreement with Irembo in Rwanda to enable Irembo to pay commissions to their agents via SPENN business services.

Investor News 3/2022

Irembo offers payment processing for land services, car and motor services, health services and much more to the Rwandese public, generating annual revenues of more than 8 billion Rwandan francs. Payments can be made via bank transfer, credit cards, cash, and mobile money either online or at designated Irembo agents. SPENN is working towards being added to the list of payment channels.

“Our intention is to integrate Irembo in the SPENN app, making it possible for end-users to pay for any governmental service offered via Irembo,” explains Jens Glaso, CEO of SPENN Technology.

Irembo has a network of approximately 6,000 agents throughout Rwanda which is of interest to SPENN.

“We are onboarding Irembo agents as SPENN users, which allows them to receive payments for their services via SPENN,” says Glaso.

A pilot with a group of 30 Irembo agents has been launched where these agents are onboarded to SPENN in order to receive commission payments from Irembo via SPENN. Pending the evaluation of the pilot, a scale-up to include all 6,000 Irembo agents is already planned together with Irembo.

“We would also like to have Irembo agents add SPENN services to their list of offerings,” says Glaso.
