Interview with Andrew Uabo, Vice President and Head of West Africa, VISA
Africa isn’t one market it’s a continent of diverse payment ecosystems, each evolving on its own terms. In this insightful clip, Andrew Uabo, Vice President and Head of West Africa at VISA, breaks down how different regions are leading with different strengths: mobile money in East Africa, card-dominated payments in the South, and real-time transfers powering West Africa.
Andrew shares why tokenized and contactless payments are the bridge that can unify these form factors and why the next frontier isn’t just technology, but financial literacy. From fighting fraud to clearing up misinformation around contactless payments, he makes the case for why banks, fintechs, and regulators must work together to help everyday people make smarter financial decisions.
