NAIROBI, KENYA — 5 June 2026 — Epic Africa today detailed the payments experience available at launch: a secure checkout that supports multiple local currencies and is processed by Paystack.
Card details are entered and handled directly by the payment provider; Epic Africa retains only limited records such as a payment reference, amount, currency and status. The platform is further protected by additional security and bot-verification safeguards.
“Payments should feel familiar and safe wherever a traveller is booking from,” said an Epic Africa spokesperson. “Supporting multiple local currencies, with a provider travellers trust, removes friction for both guests and hosts.”
Highlights
- Checkout in multiple supported local currencies.
- Processing by Paystack over encrypted connections.
- No storage of full card numbers or banking credentials.
