Safaricom PLC has hosted its 3rd annual investors day forum to update stakeholders on the company’s journey to become Africa’s leading purpose-led technology company by 2030.
Speaking diring the forum, Ethiopia’s Safaricom CEO Wim Vanhelleputte said “Unlike Kenya, where M-PESA revolutionized money transfers 18 years ago, Ethiopia faces a different challenge, finding and developing different use cases for mobile money payments. While significant strides have been made, the journey is still ongoing, and M-PESA is at the heart of this transformation, driving financial inclusion and digital payments adoption.”
“We will embrace the experience and learning from Safaricom plc’s M-PESA super app. We don’t have to go the steady legacy route as we have the opportunity to leapfrog.” He added

Like many other economies in emerging and frontier markets, the economy in Ethiopia remains promising with significant business opportunities.”
