Fintech

Empregador de registros e serviços de folha de pagamento
A FinTech explodiu na cena de quase todos os investidores, capitalistas de risco, firmas financeiras tradicionais e usuários de smartphones. Além disso, viu um aumento meteórico em termos de financiamento, arranques firmes e interesse geral em todo o mundo. Uma ilustração disso pode ser vista simplesmente olhando para o volume de pesquisa do Google para o termo FinTech ao longo do tempo – com seu crescimento exponencial aparentemente surgindo nos últimos cinco anos (desde 2014).

A terceira onda é o futuro da FinTech. Claro, como qualquer evento futuro, este é o mais difícil de prever, sendo dependente de um grande número de circunstâncias e eventos desconhecidos (e talvez até desconhecidos) que mudarão seu caminho evolutivo. Dito isso, a melhor aposta para a nova casa inovadora da FinTech está surgindo – a África. Com dados demográficos favoráveis, uma dependência cada vez menor dos recursos naturais e uma infraestrutura em rápida expansão, o continente está preparando a combinação perfeita para uma explosão inovadora. Além disso, possui o maior fator de condução individual visto em muitas das ondas inovadoras mais profundas do último milênio: a necessidade. O édito de Platão de que “a necessidade é a mãe da invenção” não poderia ser mais verdadeiramente incorporado do que na África de 2020 e além. A população jovem, em ascensão, sem banco e mal servida da África está ansiosa para desbloquear o crescimento que o acesso ao financiamento lhes proporcionará. Na verdade, você já está começando a ver os primeiros indícios dessa nova forma de FinTech surgindo com empresas como Safaricom (uma empresa de telecomunicações) e Equitel (uma operadora de rede virtual móvel), fornecendo soluções móveis que inovam além das dos EUA e da Ásia.


Ao contrário de outras partes do mundo, na África, o maior mercado é um mercado não atendido. Cerca de 330 milhões de africanos adultos, aproximadamente 80 por cento da população do continente, não têm acesso a serviços financeiros formais. A grande maioria dos clientes em potencial ainda não foi reivindicada, embora estejam sendo ativados muito rapidamente.

Em 2019, uma startup Fintech na África recebeu mais de US $ 1,3 bilhão em investimentos.

A Nigéria e o Quênia foram os principais destinos de investimento inicial do continente, respondendo conjuntamente por 81,5% do investimento recebido em 2019.
