Africa is at the cusp of an economic revolution. 1.5 billion people are embracing electronic payments, mobile everything, and racing towards a digital transformation that will change the world for the next two decades. While Internet- and banking-penetration have come late to Africa, a youth-driven tidal wave of change is hitting the continent, and global businesses and local champions are in a race to unlock its potential. In partnership with Multichoice, the largest entertainment platform on the African continent, we are building a payment platform as ambitious as the customers we serve. This is truly the Moment for Africa.
