Institutional Infrastructure for African Cross-Border FX

Built for banks moving away from correspondent banking, corporates managing recurring FX exposure, and licensed FX institutions that need real counterparty access.

Why Betaling

African cross-border FX wasn't built for institutions.

Correspondent banking is expensive, slow, and exposes banks to Herstatt risk. The bilateral retail market gives corporates no pre-trade visibility. Licensed FX institutions sit in a counterparty pool that's too small.

  • For banks: settle without correspondent fees or Herstatt risk.
  • For corporates: manage FX exposure without the spread cost of bilateral retail.
  • For licensed FX institutions: expand counterparty access beyond the local bilateral market.

Direct settlement

Settle on African corridors without a correspondent bank in the middle.

PvP execution

Both currency legs settle at the same moment. If one fails, the trade reverses.

MT300 confirmations

SWIFT format trade confirmations your treasury & compliance already work with.

Regulatory reporting

Pre-built templates for CBN, SARB, CMA Kenya, and other African regulators.
