MoneyHash, a Middle East and Africa-born startup that provides payment orchestration infrastructure for businesses, has appointed Hwan Lee as its Regional Director for Africa as the company plans its expansion across the continent.

Lee joins MoneyHash after more than eight years at Ozow, a South African electronic funds transfer (EFT) systems provider, where he most recently served as Head of Partnerships. Earlier in his career at Ozow, Lee also held senior commercial and business development roles focused on expanding merchant relationships and market reach.

The appointment aligns with MoneyHash’s ambition of building what it previously described as a fully agnostic payments infrastructure layer capable of aggregating payment Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) and technical capabilities across providers and markets, which it could achieve by hiring the right people.

“Africa represents one of the most exciting growth opportunities in global payments today,” said Nader Abdelrazik, Chief Executive Officer of MoneyHash. “Hwan’s leadership experience and deep market understanding will be instrumental as we expand across the continent and help businesses scale with greater control, flexibility, and efficiency.”
