Oui Capital urges fintech investors to prioritise Africa’s cross-border payments infrastructure
- The cross-border payments market in Africa is projected to grow from $329 billion in 2025 to $1 trillion by 2035.
- Ignoring the underlying infrastructure could mean missing out on valuable opportunities in the fintech sector.
- Current inefficiencies in cross-border payments include reliance on the US dollar, high transaction costs, and inconsistent regulations.
The shift towards investing in infrastructure within Africa's fintech landscape is not only timely but necessary for sustainable growth. As the market evolves, prioritizing the foundational elements of cross-border payments could lead to significant economic benefits and a more stable investment environment. This discussion should focus on how to effectively support and scale these infrastructure solutions.
