The Africa Fintech Summit has announced Interswitch Group as Gold Sponsor for the Africa Fintech Summit (AFTS) 2024, to be held in Nairobi, Kenya, from September 4 to 6, 2024.

Commenting on the partnership with the Africa Fintech Summit for this year’s edition, Interswitch Founder and Group Chief Executive Officer, Mitchell Elegbe said: “As an Africa-focused integrated digital payments and commerce leader, and an important gateway to Africa’s Fintech Ecosystem, we are extremely delighted to support ecosystem engagement and valuable thought-leadership through the platform of the Africa Fintech Summit.

“22 years ago, we set out, with a clear vision to solve social problems, starting by digitising the use of cash. Today, on the realisation of the tremendous transformative potential of technology to create value and unlock prosperity for Africa, we have set our sights on leveraging technology and innovation to digitise transactions and unlock value in other key social service sectors, just as we continue to do in the sphere of financial services, and we are excited to see that our roadmap and perspective aptly align with the theme of this year’s AFTS, which is ‘Fintech In Every Industry’.

-Founder of AFTS and MD of Ibex Frontier, Zekarias Amsalu, said: “It is with immense gratitude and great delight that we welcome Interswitch as Gold Sponsor for the Africa Fintech Summit in Nairobi this year. It’s warming to have Interswitch grace the big stage this year and share detailed insights, trends and expert perspectives as a revered player in the African payments space.

“After two decades of building innovative African payment solutions for most payment touch points across the continent, we are deeply humbled to have Interswitch’s wealth of experience at this year’s summit.”
