Global payment card network Visa has opened applications for the fourth edition of its biannual Africa Fintech Accelerator, which provides ventures with access to tools, industry connections, and mentorship to help them scale their innovative solutions.
Launched in 2023 in line with Visa’s pledge to invest US$1 billion in financial inclusion in Africa by 2027, the Africa Fintech Accelerator has so far accelerated 64 startups across three cohorts, with 15 active partnerships now in place.
Four startups that took part in the first programme in 2023 recently secured strategic funding from Visa, and the firm has now announced the launch of its 2025 accelerator.
Startups are invited to participate in a three-month initiative designed to provide mentorship, technological resources, and funding opportunities.
Applications are open here until March 15.
