1 min read
Crypto exchange platform Binance has partnered with media & technology company creating disruptive FinTech & EdTech solutions BankerX, to drive Fintech inclusion across Africa.
The partnership will center on the application of cryptocurrency, financial literacy, and draw on the expertise of Binance Academy and BankerX to provide thought leadership.
Binance Academy is a blockchain and crypto-currency education platform featuring over 1 000 articles and glossary entries, plus courses on blockchain, crypto-currencies and Web3.
BankerX, is a media & technology company creating disruptive FinTech & EdTech to solve urgent economic problems across Africa.
Speaking on the partnership CEO of BankerX Koshiek Karan said,
“We’re seeing such incredible growth in Binance across Africa. As crypto emerges as a powerful force in the fintech landscape, establishing trust is paramount. Binance’s commitment to compliance and regulatory standards not only fosters credibility, but also ensures the protection of users’ assets and interests. This dedication lays a solid foundation for sustainable growth and fosters confidence among users and partners alike.”
Hannes Wessels, Binance South Africa country head, attributes Africa’s lag in fintech skills to inadequate infrastructure, complex regulatory environments, and governance deficiencies.
“The education gap, underscored by insufficient tech and financial literacy, remains one of the key challenges. Partnerships like this one can play a pivotal role in bridging this gap.”
Wessels explains the partnership does not have a rigid training format, but rather focuses on ongoing education and development through a series of thought leadership and content pieces.
