Flutterwave Recognized as ‘Fintech of the Year’ at The African Banker Awards
Flutterwave, Africa’s fintech unicorn, has been named ‘Fintech of the Year’ at the African Banker Awards, for recognition of its significant contributions to the financial technology sector in Africa.
The award ceremony took place at the JW Marriott Hotel in Nairobi, Kenya, with over 300 of Africa’s top banking and finance professionals in attendance.
This is Flutterwave’s third international recognition in 2024, coming after its inclusion in CNBC’s Disruptor 50 list and Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies.
Speaking on the award, Flutterwave CEO and Founder Olugbenga Agboola said,
“We are incredibly honored to receive this prestigious award. This recognition is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and creativity of the entire team at Flutterwave. It also reaffirms our mission to simplify payments for endless possibilities, and we remain committed to building solutions that enable multinationals to expand in and within Africa, and also supporting African companies to compete globally”.
This award celebrates Flutterwave and other innovators setting new standards and driving the growth and development of Africa’s banking sector over the past year.
Recently, the fintech giant has undergone significant changes with the addition of new high profile executive members to fortify its board.
It also recently received approval in principle for a payment aggregator licence from the Central Bank of Mozambique today as it looks to expand into the southeastern African region. The licence, if approved, will allow Flutterwave to support businesses expanding into Mozambique and global enterprises expanding into Africa.
