      This excerpt is important because it discusses Paga's offerings fist, before moving to how Paga's partnerships, here with Western Union, helped the fintech improve its offerings.
  • Paga was introduced in Nigeria to take advantage of the cash buildup in the system and to create a means whereby financial services are available to all. Although the banking sector in Nigeria is not easily accessible to everyone, the telecommunications industry has been more successful in reaching a large portion of the country’s population. The collaboration of both the banking and telecom sector has given rise to mobile banking platforms like Paga, where a user can perform basic financial transactions with the use of a cellphone. Paga works through a mobile phone application or online through the company’s website.

Promising future for Islamic banking in Ghana | Ghana 2015 | Oxford Business Group - 0 views

  • In Ghana there is currently just one sharia-compliant financial institution – Ghana Islamic Microfinance, which began as an NGO – though there is significant scope for growth. Part of this is due to the country’s demographic make-up. Although Muslims are far from the only potential client base for IFS, as evidenced by the rollout of Islamic financing instruments in countries like the UK and Japan, sharia-compliant products could prove attractive for the roughly 17.6% of Ghana’s population that identifies as Muslim, according to the 2010 census.
    • aminej
       
      The fact that 17.1% of Muslims in Ghana won't be able to invest in our applications is a big threat but we have thought that if we included shariah compliand products such as sukuk we could include this marginalized part of the country and improve their situations

    • aminej
       
      I love this concept which can be very useful in Morocco since we have a big number of cars. Indeed, most people forget to take some important measures of control and safety for their cars because they are too busy working. This app can help you stay in touch with any issue concerning your car that could cause you an issue and help you know it before something happens.
  • Hood provides a device for users’ cars that is synced with Hood’s mobile application. The app informs the user when an error is detected and whether it is minor or requires immediate attention. Users can also check and clear the code of the engine light, track their trip history, locate the nearest car shop, keep their gas expenses in check, monetize the car’s movement and have a big cloud of data
    • aminej
       
      I believe that this could work in Morocco very well because we are the second country with the highest number of cars in Africa after Egypt, so there is a big customer target of almost 4 million cars with 110.000 cars being imported every year

Fintech and the Future of Finance by James Guild :: SSRN - 0 views

  • The application of technological innovations to the finance industry (Fintech) has been attracting tens of billions of dollars in venture capital in recent years. Examples of Fintech innovations include digital cash transfer services in Kenya and India, and peer-to-peer lending platforms in China. These services, when developed in tandem with complementary government policies and regulatory frameworks, have the potential to expand financial services to hundreds of millions of people currently lacking access and to break new ground on the way finance is conducted. This is important because sustainable economic growth is strongly linked with financial inclusion. The successful adoption of Fintech to increase financial inclusion is highly dependent on competent regulatory oversight. By examining varying degrees of success in the adoption of Fintech services in Kenya, India and China this paper argues that adopting a responsive regulatory approach, rather than an overly interventionist one, is the most suitable framework for boosting financial inclusion through technological innovation.
