About this session
Digital payments can move at the tap of a screen; cross-border money still has to navigate fragmented rails, uneven access to foreign exchange, regulatory complexity and the realities of local markets. As trade and digital commerce deepen across Africa and Asia, what will it take to make international payments faster, more transparent and more inclusive?
This conversation will bring operator and market perspectives to a central question: can the next generation of payment systems serve emerging-market businesses on their own terms? The discussion will explore where innovation is making a difference, what still holds corridors back, and how providers can build trust and scale across borders. -
