Trustlink - The Afriverse

Seamless and direct

Our gateway solution enables straight through processing, allowing the frictionless flow of data between customers and their back-office systems. For clients, this means improved accuracy, increased throughput, reduced costs, speed and reliability. Clients can thereby handle growing transaction volumes, while maintaining operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Choice and flexibility

Our clients have flexibility with our “any to any” and “many to many” data translation and integration solutions. With the ability to choose compliance to standards, formats and protocols, our solutions are adaptable and responsive to client needs. 

Secure delivery at the lowest cost

Through our multinetwork approach, our clients can choose the lowest cost of delivery of their transaction through our trusted private network. Our central hosted network is highly secure: all transactions are encrypted and authenticated, standards are verified and it is extremely difficult for unauthorised access to occur. 

Futureproofing your messaging

Trustlink stays up-to-date on the constantly changing network landscape – from trends to changing regulation, compliance, industry standards, technology and more – to ensure our integration solutions are futureproof.

Risk mitigation

Trustlink’s risk management and fraud detection solutions are a critical component of our ecosystem. Our clients are able to screen transactions against sanctions lists and detect fraudulent payments or user behaviour.

Handling big data

We securely process over 150 million transactions a year, of which 50 million are routed via our private network. Through our extensive data management capabilities, we are trusted to effectively and efficiently handle your data throughout its lifecycle, ensuring data quality, security, availability and compliance. This, in turn, assists clients with management information and regulatory reporting.

Bespoke data conversion and integration offers our clients innovative and customisable data conversion, Any:Any / Many:Many translation and integration options.
