From Cash to Faster, Smarter Financial Services
Africa’s financial system is becoming increasingly digital.
Mobile money and digital payment platforms have already changed how millions of people send, receive and manage money. The next stage is likely to focus increasingly on interoperability, instant payments, data, security and smarter financial services.
Industry analysis of African payments has emphasized the importance of interoperability between banks, microfinance institutions, fintechs and mobile-money providers.
Globally, financial institutions are also preparing for faster cross-border payments, interoperability and increased use of AI in payment operations.
