Accelerating your digital growth in Africa

Money 20/20 2026

Operating in Africa requires a clear path to scale, empowered by local expertise and relationships built on trust

At Absa Corporate and Investment Banking, we leverage our pan-African footprint to deliver tailored solutions that connect global ambition and local execution.

From API-led transactional banking to bank grade digital asset custody, we give fintechs, payment powerhouses and corporates the tools, liquidity and regulatory bridge to turn that vision into a pan-African reality — with precision and speed.

At Money20/20 2026, we're not here to talk about Africa's digital future. We're here to engineer the foundational infrastructure for a borderless continent.

Our philosophy is simple: Don't just enter Africa, build in it.
