Cross-border payments remain a significant challenge for African businesses, despite the emergence of players like Zepz and Syarpa. Regulations, high fees, and lack of infrastructure continue to hinder seamless transactions. Local business leaders emphasize the need for collaboration among banks, fintechs, and regulators to create a more conducive environment for cross-border trade.
