This comes on the heels of Flutterwave’s new chapter, marked by its acquisition of a banking license in Nigeria and its recent acquisition of open banking startup Mono, as it celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2026. By building the payments superhighway connecting Africa to the world and the world to Africa, Flutterwave is paving the way for a more inclusive and integrated future.
Flutterwave’s Founder and CEO, Olugbenga ‘GB’ Agboola, said, “Celebrating our 10-year anniversary means looking at how far our foundation has come. Over the last decade, we have assembled a full stack of infrastructure, growing from payments and remittances to switching, operator licenses, and now a microfinance banking license, to become a core financial rails for Africa. You can see this evolution in how Send App has transformed to seamlessly connect the global diaspora to home. As we step into this next chapter, we are proud to return as a Lead Sponsor for the Africa Fintech Summit. AFTS is a vital community for our ecosystem, and we look forward to joining leaders in Washington, D.C. during the Spring Meetings to build the next decade of African finance.”
“It is with great delight & gratitude that we are welcoming back Flutterwave as our Lead Fintech for our 15th edition of AFTS in Washington, D.C. this week.
