    Corporate Lawyer | Fintech Founder | Building straitPay, making it easy to spend & invest in Africa | Legal & Compliance Expert | Speaker | Author

    I had the privilege of speaking about the Future of Money at #websummit The message I delivered was simple: It is time we explore Intra Africa trade routes & tap into unifying & simplifying payments into Africa. With a population of over 1.25 billion sub-Saharan Africans and 57% still unbanked; it is time we do our part to support the vision of the African Union (African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) & the Pan-African Payment & Settlement System - PAPSS. I also shared on how straitPay; a digital neobank, is simplifying this process and connecting Africa to the world - one bridge at a time… I came across a quote from Elon Musk that resonates with me: “when something is important enough, you do it  even if the odds are not in your favour”… Many thanks to the organisers of #websummit for giving us the opportunity and being part of the solution. Special shout out to Ferna Tech for the amazing community events and to the straitPay team for all their efforts. If you’re interested in joining us and being part of the solution - let’s hold hands & build together despite the odds against Africa today…
