In its May webinar on African Innovations in SME Finance, SME Finance Forum discussed mobile financial services and how sub-saharan Africa is a leader in MFS innovation, adoption, and usage.

With the expanding interest and capabilities in digital money in the region, many new financial and non-financial players are investing in mobile-based payment businesses, while other mobile money providers are offering bill payments in order to enhance their customer experience.
