The session will bring together leading fintechs, payment service providers, digital financial platforms, and ecosystem stakeholders to discuss the proposed Payment Services Directive for Africa (PSDA) and its role in enabling seamless cross-border digital payments across the continent.
The roundtable provides a platform for private sector actors to share practical insights on regulatory barriers, operational challenges, and commercial realities in cross-border payments. Through open dialogue between industry practitioners and policymakers, participants will explore implementation priorities, identify enabling conditions for adoption, and contribute recommendations that will inform the PSDA’s development and rollout.
Ultimately, the session aims to strengthen public-private collaboration and ensure that the PSDA evolves into a practical, market-driven policy framework that accelerates interoperable payments, reduces costs for businesses and consumers, and supports Africa’s broader goals of digital integration and intra-African trade.
