Digital and instant payments are reshaping Africa’s commerce landscape, driving the demand for faster, smarter, and more secure transaction experiences. Modernising payments infrastructure is now essential for delivering seamless customer experiences, enabling real-time transactions while navigating rising fraud threats, evolving compliance pressures, and the growing complexity of payments ecosystems.
To map this shifting landscape, ITWeb and ACI Worldwide is conducting a comprehensive pan-African survey among banks, merchants, large retailers, microfinance institutions (MFIs), mobile money operators, and payment service providers (PSPs). The findings of this survey will be presented and discussed in depth at the Unlocking the future of payments in Africa webinar, which will delve into the strategic link between payments modernisation and risk management.
Join us for this high-impact webinar as leading experts unpack what it takes to build a modern, resilient payments environment. This session will deliver practical insights into creating future-ready payments ecosystems that are secure, compliant, scalable, and customer-centric.
