Africa's evolution of instant payments followed a unique trajectory, beginning with market-driven mobile money services rather than centralised banking infrastructure. This panel examines the strengths of this approach, including widespread agent networks, grassroots adoption, and payment use cases rooted in everyday needs. Speakers discuss the competitive advantages this foundation creates, lessons applicable to other regions, and how these market-led systems have informed the development of national payment rails.
