5th Digital Finance Africa hosted by IT News Africa set for 3 July 2025

JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA - Media OutReach Newswire - 10 June 2025 - Africa is undergoing a profound financial transformation driven by rapid technological advancements, with fintech and cross-border payments leading the charge.

The continent's cross-border payments market is projected to grow from $329 billion in 2025 to $1 trillion by 2035, fueled by fintech innovation and intra-African trade. This growth enhances financial inclusion, connecting millions to financial services via mobile money, which Africa leads globally.

However, this digital surge heightens cybersecurity risks, with rising cyberattacks necessitating robust fraud prevention. Fintechs must prioritize compliance, identity verification, and advanced technologies like AI to safeguard sensitive data. AI is revolutionizing African banking by automating fraud detection, enhancing regulatory compliance, and improving risk assessment, enabling more efficient and secure financial systems.
