How Mojaloop Is Transforming Financial Inclusion Across Africa

Episode notes

What happens when a country moves from cash-only transactions to instant digital payments that work for everyone? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Steve Haley, Director of Market Development at The Mojaloop Foundation, to discuss how open and interoperable payment systems are helping reshape financial inclusion across Africa and other emerging markets. For many listeners in Europe or North America, instant payments and digital banking are often taken for granted. But Steve explains how millions of people around the world still live in economies where cash dominates daily life, and where even those with mobile money accounts remain disconnected from the wider financial system. In some countries, people have even been forced to carry two phones because competing mobile payment providers could not communicate with each other. Our conversation focuses heavily on Liberia, where the Liberian Inclusive Instant Payments System was deployed in just 73 business days.
