The U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA), in collaboration with Rand Merchant Bank (RMB), will bring public and private sector decision-makers together to discuss the enabling environment of cross-border payments across the African continent. By highlighting key challenges around money laundering, greylisting, and due diligence relating to payment processing across the African continent, the conference will highlight the key measures required to improve financial inclusion across African markets. Improvements in governance, leading to increased access to hard currency in African countries, will unlock further USD-denominated trade flows in the region. Various payment processing mechanisms will be showcased, spanning across fintechs to banks, as well as featuring RMB’s Africa Gateway payment processing solution. In addition to banks, fintechs, regulators, and U.S. government officials, U.S. software providers will be present, demonstrating capabilities and the latest developments in payment processing technologies. Registration to this event is by invitation only.
