Company operating in multiple African markets often face the challenge of managing international payments. Across four to ten different platforms or integrations to handle various currencies and payment corridors.
Bluebulb, a B2B cross-border payments company, has announced the launch of Orbita. A self-service treasury platform designed for African businesses managing global payment operations. Orbita aims to give finance teams, treasurers, and CFOs better control, visibility, and efficiency in handling cross-border treasury activities.
Unlike traditional payment tools that focus mainly on processing transactions, Orbita prioritizes treasury management. Also, the platform allows businesses to fund digital wallets, convert currencies. Settle payments with international vendors, and track global transactions—all from a single, unified dashboard. By consolidating these functions, Orbita eliminates the fragmentation that has long plagued cross-border payments for African businesses.
Ola Daramola, Group CEO of Bluebulb, explained that Orbita was developed. With a deep understanding of the challenges finance and treasury teams face when managing cross-border payments at scale.
“As African businesses expand beyond their home markets, the complexity of managing currencies, settlement cycles, and visibility grows rapidly. We built Orbita to provide finance leaders with clarity, control, and confidence in how money moves across borders, in real time. This is about creating reliable payment infrastructure that African businesses can depend on as they compete and scale globally,” Daramola said.
The launch of Orbita strengthens Bluebulb’s position not just as a payments provider. But as a builder of essential financial infrastructure for African businesses engaged in global trade. By addressing persistent issues like visibility, reconciliation, and control. Bluebulb aims to streamline treasury operations and reduce the friction that has historically hindered cross-border commerce across Africa.
