A sign just how significant FinTech has become a global investment jumped three-fold between 2014 and 2018, reaching USD34.4 billion according to Statista. By some estimates, that investment will at least double again by 2022. Although most FinTech investment is currently in the US, which captures 80% of this spending, relatively little investment has occurred in Africa that could and should change many of the necessary elements exists in Africa to develop FinTech ecosystems. There is a good reason that the region has the collective will to give rise to these ecosystems and reap their broader economic benefits. A perfect, example South Africa has the highest numbers of crypto users in the World. Another country is Nigeria; the use of bitcoin is popular among youth. Establishing and nurturing a FinTech is difficult given the level of sustained collaboration that is necessary among stakeholders in the sector the governments, financial institution and entrepreneurs.
