Financial infrastructure, built and run in Africa.
We design, deploy and operate payment switching, merchant acquiring, digital and agency banking, collections and lending platforms for banks, microfinance institutions, fintechs and governments. Then we stay accountable for them in production.
The rails behind modern financial services
Most vendors license software and leave. Most integrators deploy and move on. We build the platform, then run it under a signed service level agreement for as long as you rely on it.
Switching that stays up when everything around it goes down.
ISO 8583 and ISO 20022 infrastructure that connects banks to national switches, card networks and each other. Stand-in processing keeps ATMs, POS and transfers working during core banking downtime.
Accept every card, phone and QR code. Manage every terminal.
Android POS acceptance and the back office behind it. Chip, contactless, magstripe and QR payments routed over ISO 8583, with real-time sales visibility for every merchant.
Every channel your customers use, including the ones without a smartphone.
Mobile apps, USSD, internet banking and agent networks on one integration layer. Customers get the same services whether they tap an app, dial a short code or visit an agent.
One framework for every biller. No custom build for the next one.
Banks connect to the institutions their customers pay through a framework API rather than point-to-point code. New billers go live through configuration, not a new project.
From application to disbursement in minutes.
Straight-through lending that checks affordability, queries the credit bureau, sets a limit and disburses to the core without manual steps. At the teller, on mobile and through agents.
The connective layer between your core and everything else.
API middleware that joins core banking, ERPs, insurers, mobile network operators, fintech partners and government systems. When a regulator mandates a new integration, we deliver on the deadline.
Built by the people who answer the phone at 3 a.m.
We operate what we build
Every platform we deliver can run under an SLA with defined severity levels, a four-level escalation matrix and named engineers.
Tier 1 standards, African economics
ISO 8583, ISO 20022, EMV and PCI DSS-aligned security, without global-vendor licence costs.
Built inside the regulation
National switch rules, revenue-authority e-invoicing, CEMAC and COBAC requirements. We design for them from day one.
Proven in production
Live platforms at commercial banks and microbanks, some running since 2020.
Work that is live today
A national e-payment gateway on ISO 20022
A Malawian commercial bank's core connected to the national switch, with 3-D Secure, OTP authentication and automated settlement.
ATM switching that keeps working when the core does not
An ISO 8583 bridge with stand-in processing that queues transactions securely during core banking downtime.
Revenue-authority e-invoicing on a statutory deadline
Real-time VAT reporting middleware between a bank's ERP and the national electronic invoicing system.
Engineered to the standards regulators check
Learn payments from people who run them
We train banks, fintechs and aspiring payment service providers in how money actually moves: ISO 8583, scheme economics, reconciliation, fraud, PCI DSS and the licensing path. Taught by practitioners, built around your own business case.
Explore the AcademyTheory made operational
Archytas of Tarentum was a mathematician, engineer and statesman of the fourth century BC, credited as the founder of mathematical mechanics. A theorist who built working machines, then took responsibility for running things. That is the standard we hold ourselves to.
Synchrosoft Interactive is now Archytas Africa
The team, the delivery record and our service commitments are unchanged. Existing contracts, SLAs and support channels continue as before, and every engagement delivered under the Synchrosoft name remains part of our track record.
Documentation confirming the change of name is available on request.
