Stablecoin payments

Your prices in local currency.

Your customers pay in USDT or USDC while you price and keep your accounts in AOA. The checkout shows the asset, network, amount and address for each payment, and your merchant workspace tracks its confirmation. Assets, networks and limits depend on your account and its verification.

01

Link, checkout or API

Share a payment link, redirect to a hosted page or create payments through the API from your own site.

02

Exact instructions for every payment

The customer sees the asset, network, amount and address to use. Sending on the wrong network can lose funds.

03

Confirmation tracking

Fulfil only when the payment shows confirmed in your merchant workspace, never on the strength of a screenshot.

04

Know the risks

Stablecoins are designed to track the US dollar but can deviate. They carry issuer, market and network risks and are not bank deposits.

How it works

Create your business account

Register your business in Angola and complete the required verification. Enabled features appear in your workspace.

02

Create the payment

Generate a link, a checkout or an API payment for the order amount.

03

The customer pays in stablecoins

The customer sends the exact asset on the stated network to the address shown for that payment.

04

Reconcile and fulfil

Track the confirmation in your merchant workspace, then process the order.

Accepting stablecoins in Angola: price in kwanzas, confirm before you deliver

Angola’s national currency is the kwanza (AOA), and the central bank, the Banco Nacional de Angola (BNA), publishes the official rules for writing it. If stablecoin payments are enabled for your account, your customers pay in USDT or USDC while your business keeps pricing, invoicing and accounting in AOA terms. The checkout shows the stablecoin amount, asset and network for each order, so treat your AOA price as the commercial reference and the checkout amount as the payment instruction for that specific order.

What Angolan law says about virtual assets

Law 3/24 of 10 April 2024, listed by Angola’s capital markets commission (CMC), establishes the legal regime prohibiting the mining of cryptocurrencies and other virtual assets in Angolan territory. Law 11/24 of 4 July 2024, which amends the anti-money-laundering law, places virtual asset service providers under risk-based regulation and supervision: the BNA for cryptocurrencies and the CMC for other virtual assets. These texts describe Angola’s framework, not your obligations as a merchant, so check with a qualified local adviser how they apply to your business before accepting digital-asset payments.

02

Price and reconcile in kwanzas (AOA)

The BNA’s note on writing the national currency says the code AOA should be used in international, business and banking relations. Set the price on your invoice or catalogue in kwanzas, then let the checkout show the stablecoin amount, asset and network for that order. Keep the AOA price, the checkout reference and the transaction details together so your accounts can reconcile each sale, and ask your accountant how stablecoin receipts should be recorded and reported in Angola.

03

Deliver only after confirmation

Release goods or services only after the payment shows as confirmed in your ZyndPay workspace. A screenshot, a transaction hash pasted into a chat or a customer’s message is not proof of payment. If an order needs a refund, return it in the same asset and on the same network as the original payment, to an address the customer confirms, and keep that record with the order. A transfer sent on the wrong network may not be recoverable, so state the accepted asset and network before the customer pays.

These sources describe Angola’s currency and its rules on crypto mining and virtual asset service providers. They do not establish a ZyndPay licence, partnership, regulatory approval, or availability for your account.

Who supervises virtual asset service providers in Angola?

Under Law 11/24 of 4 July 2024, virtual asset service providers are subject to risk-based regulation and supervision by the Banco Nacional de Angola for cryptocurrencies and by the Comissão do Mercado de Capitais for other virtual assets. This rule concerns service providers. Check with a qualified adviser whether and how it affects your business.
