Banking & Finance
We support digital banking and digital lending services across Africa, helping clients enter any market with licensing, compliance, audit, and regulatory support.
Our Banking & Finance practice specializes in helping global fintech companies launch and scale digital banking and digital lending services across Africa. While Africa offers one of the fastest-growing financial technology markets in the world, each country has its own banking regulations, lending frameworks, and licensing procedures. This makes market entry complex, fragmented, and often unpredictable.
In Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ethiopia, Ghana, Tanzania, Mozambique, Angola and beyond, financial regulators apply very different rules when it comes to banking licenses, microfinance operations, consumer credit, mobile money, and cross-border digital payments. Some markets have well-developed financial regulatory frameworks, while others are still emerging with limited guidance, requiring close engagement with central banks, financial regulators, and local partners. For a fintech company, navigating these regulatory differences is not only time-consuming but also risky without experienced legal guidance.
That’s where we step in. Our firm offers end-to-end support for digital banking and digital lending in Africa, including:
Banking and lending licensing applications in any African jurisdiction.
Regulatory compliance solutions covering consumer protection, data privacy, AML/CFT, and cross-border finance laws.
Financial audits, tax structuring, and reporting to ensure transparency and operational stability.
Local stakeholder engagement with regulators, auditors, and third-party partners to accelerate approvals and reduce operational risk.
What sets us apart is our pan-African reach and local expertise. Whether you want to set up a digital bank in Nigeria, obtain a digital lending license in Kenya, or expand a fintech platform across multiple African markets, we provide the strategic guidance, compliance support, and regulatory navigation to make it possible.
With us, global fintech companies can turn Africa’s regulatory complexity into a competitive advantage, achieving sustainable growth, full compliance, and trusted operations across the continent.
