LISTEN: Visa Path to Access: Breaking Down Digital Barriers

As the Central and Eastern Europe, Middle East and Africa (CEMEA) region transitions to the digital future, fintechs and Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) have an increasingly important role to play in facilitating the process. They have the potential to unlock access to the payments ecosystem and make it more equitable. With more than 1.35 billion accounts globally, the advent of mobile money services has paved the way to financial inclusion for many.

In this episode, join Otto Williams, Head of Products, Solutions and Partnerships for CEMEA at Visa, and Tayo Oviosu, Founder and CEO of Paga, as they assess the steppingstones that need to be navigated in CEMEA to accelerate progress, while analyzing the opportunities which fintechs can pursue. The discussion also touches on how Visa plans to harness the network effect to help pave the road ahead for actors in the mobile money ecosystem and, by doing so, ensure an equitable future for all.
