Mobile Financial Services Manager for Telecel Ghana, Judith Adumua-Bossman, has called for collective action on the implementation of cross-border mobile money interoperability to accelerate business and trade across the continent.
Delivering a thought-provoking speech on the readiness of telcos for cross border interoperability at the Africa Prosperity Network’s Symposium on ‘Scaling Up Interoperability: Using Mobile Money to Buy & Sell Across Africa,’ Mrs. Adumua-Bossman emphasised the need for telcos, banks and FinTech firms to work collaboratively and take concrete steps towards cross-border mobile money transactions.
“The next step in mobile money interoperability is to facilitate seamless and convenient cross-border transactions for our customers who are demanding for this service to increase and expand their trade and businesses,” Mrs. Adumua-Bossman said.
The symposium convened key players in the finance, trade, and governance sectors to discuss the critical role of mobile money interoperability in unlocking Africa’s economic potential.
