Episode 6
Published 1 week ago
Description
This episode explores how West African commerce is being transformed by mobile money, from costly cross-border currency conversions to instant local-currency payments powered by PAPSS and Onafriq. It also digs into how cheaper transfers, interoperable wallets, and cash-flow-based microloans are reshaping informal business, agent networks, and the future of intra-African trade under AfCFTA.
