This accolade recognises our commitment to innovation and excellence in the financial technology sector, further solidifying our position as a leading fintech company in Africa.
The AfricaTech Week Awards, organised by Topco Media, celebrated the continent’s top tech innovators and visionaries in a ceremony held at the Century City Conference Centre.
