This year has welcomed AfCFTA, the pan-African free trade agreement. As of 1st January 2021, AfCFTA has brought in new business standards for 41 countries and 1.2 billion people<\/a> to increase economic growth across the continent. Alongside that has been an acceleration of digital transformation in the region, heralding a new era of technological advancement.<\/p>\n

AfCFTA introduces updated trading rules that lower import-export taxes, make commerce more affordable, and increase transaction volume. It means banks in the continent will be primed for pan-African service, a priority that will adjust the importance of ease of payment.<\/p>\n

Since we began operating in South Africa in 2006, there\u2019s been steady progress toward digital adoption and seen remarkable changes over the past decade. We\u2019ve also been instrumental in implementing change. For example, we were behind the first contactless payment ever made in Ghana. Yet, the explosive growth that has unfolded at lightning speed over the past two years has not been comparable to anything that has come before.<\/p>\n

There are examples everywhere you look. TymeBank South Africa acquired 3.2 million bank customers in 17 months of operation<\/u>, making it the world\u2019s fastest-growing independent digital bank. Over 50% of its customer base are active each month, and its deposits have been rising at around 10% per month, with the fastest growth among women clients representing 50% of their customer base.<\/p>\n

TymeBank has close partnerships with retailers for cash in and out and tends to go where their customers shop for essential items. This has been a wise choice seeing that only supermarkets were open during the lockdowns of the past year. They have since launched their own buy now pay later proposition.<\/p>\n

Recently, the Vista Bank Group partnered with paytech spinoff Radar Payments<\/a> to drive digital payment adoption across the region. This will centralise payment operations at Vista\u2019s tech hub in Senegal, overseeing activities in Guinea, Gambia, Burkina Faso, and Sierra Leone; as part of a broader expansion strategy to Burkina-Faso, Togo, Cote d\u2019Ivoire, Senegal, and Mali.<\/p>\n

It means that Vista Bank will run on BPC\u2019s flagship payment suite, SmartVista, to manage card issuance and lifecycle management, payment switching, ATM and Point-Of-Sales management, and provide digital channels such as mobile banking and e-wallet.<\/p>\n

These digital leaps have taken place in transport too. O-CITY, the automated fare collection provider, made its first partnership for contactless payments with the aim to transformer over 10,000 buses in Nairobi, Kenya. To decrease the use of cash during the COVID-19 pandemic, it was launched in partnership with transport savings and credit specialists, NikoDigi, and Kenyan payments firm, Tracom<\/a>. Now, the Matatu buses are going digital with cashless payments<\/a> accepted through M-Pesa.<\/p>\n

With all this activity, there emerges a future that is even more exciting: one where everyone will become a payment company. Everyone who receives payment is stepping up to the game to compete while increasing security and centralisation.<\/p>\n

Marketplaces are flourishing and becoming more specialised. There has already been the rise of Jumia, an online marketplace for electronics, fashion, and more, which was the sixth most-visited local website in Nigeria<\/a> as of April 2020.<\/p>\n

Even newer marketplaces are coming up and driving entire industry verticals, like in the agricultural space. Agricultural markets and smallholders represent over 60 per cent of Africa\u2019s population and produce 80 per cent of its food<\/a>. Digital marketplaces for agriculture like Twiga Foods in Kenya and iProcure are promising transformation in the industry by providing new ways to connect farmers, merchants and customers.<\/p>\n

This is all underpinned by the banks across multiple countries working towards making it much easier to send and receive money, ultimately fostering business between neighbours. Stripe is looking at the flourishing payment space, and more third-party providers will likely arrive to serve the continent\u2019s digital payment needs.<\/p>\n

Overall, the future looks bright for Africa, a region set to be transformed not only by digital acceleration but also by the economic growth that technology tends to follow and inspire.<\/p>\n
