Nigeria’s SeerBit, a pan-African payment solutions provider, has integrated with Xero, a global small business platform, to simplify how businesses across Africa get paid from invoices.

SeerBit is a pan-African payment solutions provider that makes it easier for businesses and financial service providers to make and accept payments from their customers across Africa. Users have the advantage of enjoying flexible features to fit any business with a single integration.

Through the integration, businesses using SeerBit and Xero on the continent can now embed a “pay now” option directly into invoices, allowing customers to complete payments instantly using local and international methods, including cards, bank transfers and mobile money.

Once a payment is made through SeerBit, the transaction is automatically recorded and reconciled within Xero in real time, with invoice status updated instantly and settlement details reflected within the system.

This effectively removes the gap between invoicing, payment and reconciliation. Additionally, it reduces the need to chase payments, improves visibility over cash flow, and streamlines financial reporting by ensuring transactions are captured accurately as they happen. The integration also supports multi-currency transactions, enabling businesses to invoice and receive payments across different markets with fewer barriers related to conversion and settlement.

“Our focus has always been on making it easier for businesses across Africa to move money without friction. We see a future where payments are not a separate step, but embedded into every part of how businesses operate. Integrating with platforms like Xero is a natural step in that journey, allowing us to bring payments directly into the tools businesses already rely on and move closer to a fully connected workflow between invoicing and settlement,” said Omoniyi Kolade, CEO at SeerBit.
