In a world where digital payments have become part of how money moves every day, small merchants, roadside stores and growing businesses depend on transactions that simply work.But when systems go down, networks fail and payment infrastructure can't keep up with demand , who's doing the work to keep commerce moving?Alice heads to the Africa Tech Summit 2026 to gain firsthand insight into how the builders behind Africa’s payment infrastructure are tackling challenges around reliability, scale, and fragmentation on the ground.She speaks with Bemigho Awala, Communications Professional at Moniepoint, and Obinna Michael, Account Executive at Pawapay,two companies operating at the infrastructure layer of Africa’s payments ecosystem.Moniepoint is powering payments for businesses on the ground, helping merchants accept transactions, access credit, and grow with confidence. Pawapay is connecting mobile money systems across more than 20 African markets, so businesses can accept payments without the complexity of integrating every provider individually.Together, they make the case that the real fintech revolution isn't just about flashy products it's about building systems that work quietly, consistently, and at scale.To keep up with Bemigho Awala , Check out his linkedin:https://www.linkedin.com/in/bemigho-awalaCheck out Moniepoint :https://moniepoint.com/To keep up with Obinna Michael , Check out his linkedin:https://www.linkedin.com/in/obinna-awuzudike/Check out Pawa Pay:https://www.pawapay.io/__________________________________________________________________Join Alice as she explores the world of tech and shares impactful stories with guests on My Tech Story Africa!Subscribe to our podcast, drop a like, comment, and hit the notification bell to stay updated with our latest content.Don't forget to spread the word!
