Looking for the latest buzz on fintech in North Africa? You’re in the right spot. This tag pulls together fresh stories on digital banking, mobile payments, startup funding, and regulatory moves that matter to entrepreneurs and investors alike.
Every article you see here is chosen for its relevance to the region’s fast‑moving tech scene. From a new Moroccan neobank launching a low‑fee account to a Kenyan startup rolling out AI‑driven credit scoring, we keep the focus on real‑world impact.
One of the biggest trends right now is the rise of mobile wallets that work offline. With spotty internet in many areas, developers are building apps that store transaction data locally and sync when a signal appears. This solves a huge pain point for everyday users.
Regulators are also stepping up. Several countries have introduced sandbox programs that let fintech firms test new products under relaxed rules. The result? Faster innovation and fewer costly compliance surprises.
Funding activity is booming, too. In the last quarter, venture capital poured over $150 million into startups across Egypt, Tunisia, and Algeria. Investors are especially keen on platforms that combine payments with e‑commerce or supply‑chain finance.

For investors, the tag offers a concise snapshot of the ecosystem. Spotting a startup that just secured a seed round can signal the next big exit opportunity.
