The financial services world is evolving at speed. But for many innovators, the weight of licenses, integrations, and compliance slows everything down.
At Omnea, we believe it shouldn’t take years to launch your financial innovation. With our CORTEX-powered platform, you can be live in months — without relying on fragile sponsor-bank models.

Why Omnea?
We’ve built a proven platform designed to give fintechs, payment providers, enterprises, and even government entities direct access to financial infrastructure.
With Omnea, you unlock:
Instant access to financial infrastructure without building from scratch
Pre-integrated banks & service providers at your fingertips
Compliance handled, simplifying regulatory hurdles
Speed to market, so you can focus on innovation, not administration
Built for South Africa. Ready for Tomorrow.
Omnea PaaS is fully aligned with the South African Reserve Bank’s Payments Ecosystem Modernisation (PEM) Programme and activity-based licensing framework. This means non-banks can participate in the National Payment System without sponsor-bank dependencies.
What you get today:
Full payment processing
Regulatory compliance
Custody services
Real-time settlement with RTGS finality
And when SARB opens direct access in 2026, your business will seamlessly upgrade into deeper integration.
Proven. Scalable. Live.
Omnea’s infrastructure isn’t a concept on paper — it’s already live, operational, and moving millions of transactions:
10+ clients in-market
20+ integrations with banks, PSPs, and VAS providers
Millions of payments successfully processed across sectors
