About the Book
African financial infrastructure is the world's most overlooked financial system. With 300 million credit-invisible adults, 68% mobile money penetration, and a $100B+ credit gap, the continent is building financial rails from first principles — not from Western templates.
This book examines how African markets are redesigning credit, payments, and regulatory frameworks for mobile-first populations, data-scarce environments, and fragmented jurisdictions. It draws lessons for fintech, regtech, and financial infrastructure globally.
From the rise of mobile money as a settlement layer to the development of alternative-data credit scoring models, African financial infrastructure offers a blueprint for financial inclusion that the rest of the world is only beginning to discover.
