IncentiaPay was founded in 2014 and listed within months. It was able to list so early by acquiring Bartercard.

After being as high as $1.21 in late 2015 the stock is now at 4.2 cents. Despite inking significant partnerships, including with AliPay, and recording $110 million in revenue last financial year, it lost $62.2 million.

But in a show of confidence, Suzerain bought into the company. Suzerain appears to be a related body corporate to Mauritian bank LC Abelheim. LC Abelheim’s managing director Aziza Moraby signed the substantial holder form.

Tourism and sugar production are the largest traditional industries in Mauritius. But its low-tax and favourable regulatory environment has led to it becoming a financial haven.

It was last year rated as the best economy in Sub-Saharan Africa to do business and is the third fastest growing financial centre globally.

Suzerain has also been linked to Platinum Credit, because the management of its holding company (Platcorp) is affiliated with Suzerain.

Platinum Credit is a Kenyan company that offers microfinance. According to its website it “deliver[s] cash in 24 hours, with minimum bureaucracy and swift customer service”.
