The Power of Collaboration in Driving Africa’s Growth In today’s evolving money transfer landscape, collaborations are the key to unlocking economic potential across Africa. Mobile network operators, financial institutions and local fintech innovators are all playing their part in revolutionizing the way people move money. Collaborating has the power to take this forward even further, breaking down barriers, driving financial inclusion and growth. Consider Western Union’s partnership with Safaricom, which enables seamless money transfers through M-Pesa, providing millions of customers in Kenya with a reliable way to send and receive funds. Similarly, in Morocco, our long-term collaboration with Cash Plus recently led to the launch of a concept store that offers a unique, Western Union-branded and dedicated experience to customers as they send and receive money. In the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Congo, our collaboration with Compagnie Financière du Congo allows us to offer digital money transfers through the FlashApp, broadening financial access in the region. These are just a few examples of how collaborating drives innovation – and builds bridges, expanding access across the continent. We must remember that remittances plays a critical role in Africa’s development. Billions are sent home across the continent each year to support families, small businesses, and local economies. Working together means we’re ensuring these funds reach those who need them most, fostering even greater economic empowerment and resilience. As Africa continues to rise, it’s clear: collaboration is the cornerstone of sustainable growth. Together, through shared goals and collective effort, we’re creating pathways to a brighter, more connected future for Africa. #PartnershipsForGrowth #AfricaRising #FinancialInclusion #WesternUnion #Empowerment
