Enabling Fintech License Passporting in Africa Via AfCFTA

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) is reshaping Africa’s economic landscape, now extending its impact to financial services through fintech license passporting.

Why it Matters:
Fintechs currently struggle with fragmented licensing across countries, leading to high costs and delays. A unified license could:

✔ Cut costs through streamlined processes.
✔ Enable faster market entry.
✔ Boost financial inclusion for the unbanked.

Collaboration among governments, the AU, and RECs is vital to make this vision a reality.
