I've always said Kenya has been the leader in this field, certainly in Africa, and has to be one of the leaders worldwide. Kenya was the first country that I heard of doing the cashless thing.
Amazing. This sort of "leap" in tech is always interesting. Here in Brazil most of the low-income population didn't get to have a computer at home, and when the economy got better in the late '00s, people went directly to smartphones and that was their first easy access to the internet like we normally use, available 24/7. This is similar to Nigeria now, as they won't go through classic banking services with credit cards etc., they'll upgrade from almost 100% cash to pay for things directly from their phones. That's quite nice, hope his company grows, an African-owned company is very welcome in the tech industry.
Yes Somalia has been at the forefront of this movement with very high percentages of uptake by the early 2000s and Kenya has also taken it up with a gusto.
But MPESA in Kenya has been doing all that for years... why does MPESA get less recognition in this article? We've been investing in stocks, t-bills, and govt bonds using MPESA for years now. Seems to me like he just copy-pasted the MPESA platform.
That's what I was thinking. I was expecting a brand new innovation in Africa, then I realized we ended up talking about mobile banking. This is definitely not a new technology in Africa
Any Kenyan watching this thinks it's funny. I love Nigeria but when will non African journalists realize that Africa has more countries than Nigeria and South Africa?
Not in this lifetime, the black man's struggle is not about to end anytime soon in Africa. The Caucasians are on a never ending war and masquerade as philanthropists and all that and now the Chinese are taking over. We have to lock doors and start over from the ground and work at our own pace as Africans. This cashless future they keep talking about will keep a lot more people hungry unless the depopulation programs are somewhat successful. The black militant consciousness of yesteryear should be reawaken, Controlling and sharing african resources, agriculture and wealth in Africa is our way out of poverty in this monetary and materialistic world.
I've been cashless since June 2019, Haven't used cash in months. I pay for everything digitally even when buying from street vendors, The sellers have accounts and accept transfers. But older folks still carry around huge lumps of cash for business transactions. Someone handed me cash the other day and it was so weird feeling it in my pocket. The only downside is I usually don't have the cash to give to beggers, Someone should get them accounts too.

You're on your own. This is the same slippery slope that happened to Venezuela and what ended up happening was instead of cash being abused the flow of digital currency was abused which was even more detrimental.
I think it will give such countries a much bigger boost than in the developed nations. The heavier the usage of silicon based technologies, means much more data coming in about people’s lives, which enables governments to collect more taxes, control illegal activity, and help enable more business and trade; send factual information to its citizens at critical times. Reduce paperwork and bureaucracy by way of setting up online fulfillment. Such governments would need a heavy use of data scientists, software engineers and web developers though.

In Kenya more than half of monetary transactions have been cashless via mobile phones for more than a decade now via M-pesa. With your phone you can buy items,pay bills, transfer money,save money and get a loan. And withdraw cash from agents in every corner.
While I aplaoud the work of Mr. Tayo Oviosu, there are so many other africans who succeed in mobile payments. example is Mpesa of Kenya. from some research online, I have found out paga has made almost 2 billions transactions since 2009, while in somalia alone EVC PLUS, payment platforms make over 2 billions transactions per month ( not year). Somalia is the first Africa country who have 86% mobile money usage and still growing!
Zimbabwean has been a cashless society for years. but now govt is introducing taxes and hance people are going back to using cash. seems one problems for a cashless Africa will be govt taxes
