The ADI Foundation has announced a strategic partnership with M-PESA Africa to support the next phase of mobile money development across the continent. M-PESA, which serves over 60 million customers across eight African countries, is recognized as a core component of the region's economic infrastructure rather than a mere innovation experiment.
The collaboration is focused on reinforcing existing systems, rather than disrupting them, by providing secure, policy-aligned digital rails that can facilitate faster settlements, enable cross-border flows, and expand financial services at national scale. Africa has been identified as a priority region for ADI due to the widespread use of mobile money and its critical role in daily commerce.
Through this partnership, ADI aims to support the growth of institutional-grade digital infrastructure across the continent. The Foundation is committed to working closely with regulators, payment providers, and governments to modernize financial systems that people already rely on, ensuring efficiency, control, and trust are maintained.
