Flutterwave CEO outlines vision to connect Africa to the world at JP Morgan Tech Stars Conference

Flutterwave CEO, Olugbenga “GB” Agboola outlined the company’s long-term ambition in a fireside chat at the JP Morgan Tech Stars Conference in London, United Kingdom.
Mr Agboola highlighted Flutterwave’s commitment to providing seamless payment solutions to connect Africa to the world and the world to Africa, in a conversation with Maryna Muntian, an executive director at JP Morgan’s Fintech Investment Banking,
“We’ve built a payments processing platform that replaces multiple payment integrations with one platform, for enterprise merchants coming to Africa or growing across and beyond the continent,” said Mr. Agboola.
Speaking to an audience of high-level investors and venture capitalists across the technology ecosystem, Mr Agboola discussed the company’s core business focus: engaging with global enterprise businesses who are seeking to establish and solidify their presence in Africa, as well as large African businesses looking to expand their operations into global markets.
“As the world continues to see the potential in Africa, we [Flutterwave] will be available to help all sides earn value from the relationship,” he said in a prior blog post.
Flutterwave currently has extensive payment infrastructure coverage in over 30 African countries with 150 payment integrations enabling people around the world to pay Flutterwave merchants in Africa. This enables seamless cross-border payments for enterprises in Africa.
Mr Agboola’s fireside chat highlighted Flutterwave’s vital role in shaping Africa’s payment infrastructure. The company serves as a payment provider for local and global businesses across different industries and also as an enabler for other fintech companies in the region. Flutterwave has a unique positioning and is expanding its presence on the continent. The company recently obtained new licenses in Ghana, Uganda, and Malawi.
