The managing director of Payment Processing and Switching at Interswitch Purepay, Akeem Lawal, who made the call at the Nigerian Fintech Week, in Lagos,  highlighted the critical role of robust infrastructure for seamless intra-African transactions.

In his keynote, titled “Leveraging Commerce to Accelerate Inclusive Growth – The Role of African Fintech Innovation,” Lawal discussed how current payment systems’ reliance on non-African intermediaries complicates intra-continental trade.

He advocated for solutions that facilitate local currency transactions, reducing dependency on foreign currencies and intermediaries. According to him, fostering an ecosystem of developers, liquidity providers, and financial institutions will be crucial to advancing Africa’s cross-border commerce.

 

“Interswitch is dedicated to creating solutions that empower African businesses and drive the continent forward. Collaborations among financial institutions are essential to address African businesses’ needs and enable seamless cross-border trade,” Lawal remarked.
