Our mission is to democratize access to financial services, and our partnership with MTN highlights how collaboration between fintech innovators and telecom leaders can accelerate financial inclusion and drive economic growth across Africa. This is only the beginning — together, we are shaping the future of digital finance.”
Headquartered in Johannesburg, MTN Group serves nearly 300 million subscribers across 21 countries. Its mobile money platform, MoMo, already counts more than 60 million active users, enabling payments, savings, lending, and marketplace services for underserved communities.
