Investor
Yoco Technologies (Pty) Ltd
Yoco Technologies (Pty) Ltd is a Cape Town-based financial technology company, point-of-sale (POS) software developer, and merchant payment aggregator. Founded in 2013 by Bradley Wattrus, Carl Wazen, Katlego Maphai, and Lungisa Matshoba, the entity functions as an active corporate operational enterprise rather than an independent third-party private equity general partner or investment fund manager. The company builds smart mobile card terminals, digital invoice trackers, open online payment integrations, and merchant capital financing frameworks tailored for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). Rather than pursuing a private equity investment strategy, the firm deploys its corporate balance-sheet tranches and multi-stage venture funding to scale its payment-processing networks, develop proprietary point-of-sale inventory software, and expand its financial solutions across Sub-Saharan Africa.
