    During Harvard Business School’s Africa Business Conference, our Nigerian Board Chairman, Dipo Fatokun spoke on a panel, where he shared key insights on Building Robust Pan-African Financial Systems. He highlighted the power of blockchain in eliminating payment failures, the need for strong fintech-regulator collaboration to fight fraud, and the role of central banks in shaping financial inclusion. He also reaffirmed our commitment to connecting Africa to the world through reliable payment infrastructure. As he put it, “The only room that is never full is the room for improvement.” Let’s keep pushing the boundaries of innovation in financial services and technology.
