Key Takeaways

Africa’s fintech sector has seen rapid growth, driven by mobile money adoption and a young, tech-savvy population. According to the African Fintech Report by Briter Bridges, the continent had over 1,000 active fintechs as of 2024, with funding surpassing $2.5 billion in 2023. North Africa, traditionally behind sub-Saharan countries like Nigeria and Kenya in fintech adoption, is gaining ground. Tunisia and Morocco are emerging hubs, with rising startup activity and improving regulatory frameworks. Visa’s investments signal growing investor interest in scaling payment infrastructure in these regions. As global firms expand into African markets, local fintechs are gaining access to new resources and networks. This aligns with a broader shift from basic mobile money to more advanced digital financial services across the continent.
