On this episode, Laolu, Furo, and Nosa break down some recent and interesting moves in Africa’s fintech industry.
We explore LemFi’s FSCS-protected savings launch in the UK and what it means for retention beyond remittances. We also discuss Nomba’s remittance-first expansion into the DRC and Nigeria’s new National Payment Stack, built to modernise instant transfers and onboarding.
Finally, we unpack South Africa’s Discovery Bank adding crypto integration via Luno, Chowdeck’s new airtime feature, and Wave’s evolving journey from mobile money to full bank ambitions.
