Nicole van Zyl Joins Damisa as Regional Sales Lead for Africa

Nicole van Zyl has joined Damisa as Regional Sales Lead, Africa, as the company continues to grow its presence across the region and support businesses with modern financial infrastructure and cross-border payment solutions.

In this role, van Zyl will lead sales efforts across African markets. She will also work on client relationships, business growth, and new partnerships. Her focus includes helping companies access Damisa's financial technology tools for payment flows, settlement, and treasury operations.

Damisa works in the financial infrastructure and B2B payments space. The company supports businesses with cross-border payments, settlement infrastructure, treasury management, and payment needs in emerging markets. Its services are built for companies that need faster, more flexible, and compliant payment rails across regional and global markets.

The company's products include B2B cross-border payments, multi-currency settlement, digital settlement, stablecoin rails, payment collection, virtual IBANs, and global treasury solutions. It also supports always-on finance, weekend settlement, and smoother transaction flow across different markets.

Van Zyl's appointment comes as African markets attract more attention from financial infrastructure providers. Many businesses across the continent still deal with slow cross-border transfers, currency fragmentation, limited banking access, and treasury challenges. Because of that, demand is rising for platforms that simplify payments and support compliant fund movement.

As Regional Sales Lead, Africa, van Zyl will work with fintech firms, institutional clients, payment businesses, and enterprises that operate across local and international corridors. Her role will help Damisa build trust with clients and support wider use of infrastructure that improves payment efficiency and settlement reliability.

Damisa also offers regulated VASP services, institutional compliance, KYB and AML checks, real-time sanctions screening, and travel rule compliance. These features matter more as businesses look for payment and settlement tools that combine speed with strong compliance standards.

Her appointment also points to the value of strong regional sales leadership in financial technology. As companies expand across emerging markets, they need leaders who understand local conditions, spot client needs, and build the right partnerships for steady growth.

With Nicole van Zyl now in the role, Damisa is strengthening its push across Africa. Her work is set to support the company's growth in cross-border payments, digital settlement, stablecoin settlement, and global treasury solutions.
