Backers including the IFC are wagering that a payments API can win where global players have stalled.

Why it matters

The founders who win here treat discipline as a feature, not a phase.

Strip away the hype and you're left with a practical question about go-to-market that every operator faces.

If it works, the playbook travels — to Ghana and beyond.

What to watch next
