Africa Fintech Forum 2025

Following the successful completion of the inaugural Africa Fintech Forum 2024, held on 25th September 2024 at the GLEE Hotel, Nairobi, we are pleased to announce the 2nd Edition, taking place on 19th February 2025 in Johannesburg, South Africa.

South Africa’s fintech market, valued at $6 billion as of 2023, is recognized as one of the most dynamic ecosystems in Africa, driven by high smartphone adoption, a growing focus on financial inclusion, and strong regulatory support from the South African Reserve Bank. The sector is transforming financial services through innovations in digital banking, mobile payments, InsurTech, and blockchain, with a particular emphasis on addressing the needs of the unbanked population. With a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 18.5% from 2024 to 2028, the market is poised for significant expansion, despite challenges such as regulatory uncertainty, cybersecurity risks, and the digtal divide.
