Interswitch, Africa’s leading integrated payments and digital commerce company, has introduced a variety of innovative products and solutions to stakeholders in Sierra Leone’s financial ecosystem.
Commercial banks, microfinance banks, fintechs, other financial institutions, and the general public are all targets for these products.
The initiative is part of the company’s determination to expand beyond the borders of Nigeria.
Interswitch accomplished this goal by hosting its first breakfast meeting in the West African country, titled Accelerating Growth and Profitability – Leveraging Technology to Win.
The event provided critical insights and explored robust opportunities for Sierra Leone businesses to continue to evolve.
Speaking at the session, Mr Olubunmi Aina, Group Head of Sales, Payment Processing, and Switching at Interswitch Purepay, stated that businesses in Sierra Leone would benefit from seamless operations, particularly in terms of payments.

Today, we are in the Sierra Leone market to provide customers and businesses with secure and convenient digital payments products and to enhance customer experience, he said.
Participants were trained on Postilion Retail Payment, Interswitch Banking-as-a-Service, Interswitch Payment-as-a-Service, agency banking, and card fusion at the event.
According to the company, these products and solutions will enable customers such as financial institutions, banks, fintechs, and microfinance banks to provide excellent digital payment solutions to their customers.

Similarly, with intuitive technologies, financial institutions will be able to quickly integrate with newer payment channels.
It is no longer news that the deepened penetration of digital payments is helping to boost Africa’s economy. We are not resting on our oars but will continue to innovate solutions to further elevate Africa’s payments landscape as a whole, Mr Aina stated.
