Had an incredible experience this past year participating in the Milken Institute's Middle East and Africa Summit. It was an honor to have the opportunity to share AZA Finance's story and the transformative work we’re doing across Africa. Here’s to 2025! Let’s keep building! 💡💫

Thanks American Banker ! Such an Honor! ✨

Went back to Senegal last week for a productive and inspiring visit! I always learn so much from our clients, and our team continually goes the extra mile to listen to our clients' stories, understand their challenges, and provide that first-class AZA Finance service💪! ✨

Being back in Nairobi and hanging out with the incredible team at AZA Finance, is a reminder of just how special this group is. Building in fintech isn’t easy, especially in the fast-moving world of African payments, but having a team like this makes all the difference.✨#TeamAZA


Was back in the +254 for a few awesome days at the Africa Tech Summit - Accra 24-25th Sep in Nairobi! ✨A huge thank you to everyone who made time to connect. And of course, to the AZA Finance team for being on the ground, supporting our clients, and driving our mission forward. 🙌 Until next time! 🚀



A decade ago, Charlene Chen and I founded Bitpesa (Now AZA Finance) in Nairobi, fuelled by a shared vision to transform payments in Africa. Seeing her again at the #ATSNBO, 10 years since we first left Kenya to expand across the continent, was a full-circle moment! ✨


For over the past decade, AZA Finance has provided solutions for Treasurers operating in, out, and across the African continent. 🌍 If you’re going to be at the EuroFinance Event and would like to chat, drop me a message! 📩

Thanks to Steve McLaughlin FT for including me in their latest Women in Fintech report.✨ I share my journey, from starting out in Microfinance, to building AZA Finance, and how I believe that crypto & AI can continue to help power cross-border payments. 🚀 ftpartners.docsend.com/view/ap67huj3j…

Treasury is at the heart of AZA FINANCE! 🙌 I always make time for EuroFinance's Treasury & Cash Management events, especially those focused on EMEA, like last week’s event, which AZA Finance proudly sponsored here in London✨Looking forward to what’s next!🚀



Was back in Lagos a couple of weeks ago as we celebrated TEN YEARS live in Nigeria!! 🇳🇬⚡ Spent some time with our long-time clients, and caught up with the team that has built our growth across Nigeria. 💪Excited for the opportunities ahead AZA Finance 🚀


Just got back from an amazing visit to Accra! 🇬🇭 Got to spend time with our awesome team, meet some of our clients face-to-face, and soak up the energy that makes Ghana so special. It’s always a joy seeing the real impact of the work we do at AZA Finance ⚡
