He spoke when Interswitch Group hosted a delegation of Executive MBA students from the University of Cambridge Judge Business School (CJBS) at its headquarters in Victoria Island, Lagos.

The delegation visited Interswitch as part of its student-led Nigeria Trek, to gain first-hand insights into the technology company’s 23-year journey of driving payment innovation and financial inclusion across Africa.

The engagement spotlighted Interswitch’s evolution from a transaction switch to a diversified technology company, its role in building Africa’s digital payments infrastructure, and the opportunities that lie ahead in deepening financial inclusion across the continent.

Beyond showcasing our story, this engagement provides an avenue for candid conversations about Africa’s payments ecosystem, its unique opportunities, and the innovations shaping the future. Hosting the distinguished delegation is not only a chance to share our journey, but also a platform to engage with the next generation of global business leaders. We believe that interactions like this foster mutual learning, broaden perspectives, and spotlight the transformative potential of African innovation on the global stage.”
