The traditional banking market continues to grow in Africa, and banks and other financial institutions continue to find ways to do business in the challenging African market. At the same time, the entry of Fintech companies into the African market has profoundly changed the landscape of the banking and finance sector, including by fostering financial inclusion in Africa and creating previously unthought of ways to conduct transactions. These revolutionary technologies have unlocked entire new markets and open a wealth of possibilities for stimulating business exchange in Africa.

Technology has allowed the development of synergies between the banking and finance sector and other business sectors such as telecoms payment solutions, giving rise to new opportunities. As the market for financial services rapidly expands in Africa, it requires innovative solutions tailored to bring disruptive technologies to African economies.

We are the go-to team for handling complex multijurisdictional financial and regulatory matters in Africa and for shaping clients’ best practices. Our work also includes advising on new legislative and regulatory frameworks across a broad range of markets in Africa, as well as access to debt and equity capital markets for financial companies.
