$1.19bn in H121 is more than 2X the amount raised during the same period last year.

Big vote of confidence in Africa's digital economy, despite obvious political and economic issues in some countries.

Investors are playing the long game here.

Combined value of mobile money transactions on M-Pesa + MTN MoMo + Airtel Money + Orange Money = ~$50bn/month and rising. With DFS set to feature prominently in Africa's post-pandemic economy, scale is the name of the game for service providers.
