It is in moments like these as a journalist I raise my head and colour and say am a proud Ghanaian. In a recent survey of the Business Insider Africa, our very own Andrew Takyi-Appiah I was conferred the ‘Africa Fintech Leader of the Year’.
Now the excitement is from the fact that its a consumer choice award with significant market leaders like Tayo Oviosu of Paga Pay Nigeria; Olugbenga Agboola, CEO and Co-Founder of Flutterwave; Dare Okoudjou, founder and CEO of MFS Africa; and Curtis Vanderpuije, CEO, ExpressPay.
So, for a Ghanaian and indeed a renowned one for that matter our very yours truly Andrew Takyi-Appiah to win it speaks volumes. That indeed Ghana has arrived on the fintech seen and we are proud that it is Zeepay.
The largest cross border remittance aggregator on the African continent with an annual turnover of US$900million circa 2021. This award is also a testament to how as a nation our fintech regulations and legal systems are strong enough to produce giants the likes of Andrew Takyi-Appiah and his Zeepay and more fascinating is the fact that the company is lead by a 45-year-old who is supported by a crop of well trained young people to produce such excellence and win. Well done to Ghana well done to Andrew Takyi-Appiah and Zeepay.
