FinTech Innovation in Sub-Saharan Africa
Hi all - I'm the COO of a Nairobi/London-based fintech company called BitPesa (www.bitpesa.co), which leverages digital currency to provide low-cost, fast and secure remittances and payments to and from mobile money wallets in sub-Saharan Africa. I'm looking forward to meeting anyone interested in the potential of digital currency to power innovation in the continent! Reply
