Fintech is disrupting banking, finance, and even money as we know it. It’s a global phenomenon, but in Africa more than anywhere, the impact has the potential to be both socially and economically transformative. Opportunities for innovation and investment abound. The Africa Fintech Summit will gather disruptors, tech and finance professionals, regulators, and investors from across Africa and the US to discuss the technologies revolutionizing finance.
