Interswitch, one of Africa’s leading integrated payments and digital commerce companies, has highlighted its contribution to the evolution of Africa’s payments ecosystem and the infrastructure supporting its digital economy at Moonshot by TechCabal 2026.
During the forum, which was held at the National Theatre, Lagos, under the theme: ‘Courage & Conviction: Building for a New World’, Interswitch served as a platinum sponsor and hosted the Big Tech & Enterprise Stage for the second consecutive year.
In his keynote the Managing Director, Payment Scheme and Networks, Interswitch, Vincent Ogbunude, hinged on Moonshot’s overarching theme, and drew on Interswitch’s innovation journey. Ogbunude highlighted five defining acts of courage that have shaped the company’s evolution and contribution to the payment’s ecosystem including the introduction of ATM services, Quickteller, POS payments, Verve and its all-new Tap-to-Pay innovation unveiled at the event, alongside Mastercard.
“Courage in technology is not simply about being first; but more about having the conviction to recognise a problem, build a solution that matters and stay committed to making it work at scale,” Ogbunude said.
Speaking on the significance of Interswitch’s participation, Executive Vice President, Group Marketing and Corporate Communications, Interswitch Group, Dr. Cherry Eromosele, said: “Our journey at Interswitch has been shaped by the conviction to identify real market needs and build solutions that address them.”
