Financial Technology (Fintech) company, Chipper Cash has launched in Rwanda, further expanding its operations and push for access to financial services across Africa.

The launch, which was conducted Thursday during the inaugural Inclusive Fintech Forum in Kigali, Rwanda, is part of the wider plan in which Chipper Cash is seeking to accelerate payment solutions across Africa, with at least more than five million customers already on its network across Africa.

Speaking at the launch in Kigali, Mr Jovani Ntabgoba, the Chipper Cash Rwanda country director, said in a statement that the positioning of Rwanda as a financial and technology hub makes it an ideal market for Chipper Cash and its agenda to pursue expanded service offerings.

“We are delighted to launch Chipper Cash in Rwanda, an innovative and forward-thinking market that embraces technology. With our customer-centric approach, we aim to empower individuals, entrepreneurs and businesses by providing seamless access to the financial ecosystem,” he said.
