Interswitch Group, has reaffirmed its commitment to advancing a seamless and inclusive financial ecosystem across the African continent by advocating for a trust-driven infrastructure that will boost Africa’s cross-border payment.
The company made the call during its recently concluded Inclusive Fintech Forum 2026, which held at the Kigali Convention Centre, in Rwanda.
Speaking during the event, themed: ‘Financial Centres & the Future of Cross-Border Capital’, Managing Director, Payments Processing & Switching (Interswitch Purepay), Akeem Lawal, highlighted the critical factors shaping the next phase of financial integration across Africa. He noted that while rapid advancements in digital technology have made it possible for capital to move across borders at unprecedented speed, the ultimate destination and impact of such capital flows must be determined by trust, robust infrastructure, and strategic collaboration.
