The high demand from our international merchants to establish local operations in Kenya has further motivated us to enter the market. Also, given its strategic location in East Africa, Kenya serves as an ideal hub for the expansion of our operations in the region.”

Commenting on the expansion, Unlimit’s CEO, Kirill Evstratov, said: “We have ambitious plans for Kenya and East Africa, and are looking forward to supporting local businesses on their expansion goals. For 14 years we have successfully been aiding companies worldwide enter new markets and go beyond borders, strengthening their business outreach and expanding their customer base.
