Two Tanzanians who took on the world. A wide-ranging exclusive on fintech, remittances and building African companies that compete globally.
Mika sat down with Benjamin Fernandes, founder and CEO of the fintech company NALA, for one of Swahili Nation's most watched conversations.
Fernandes talks about his path from Tanzania to building a cross-border payments company, what it takes for African founders to compete globally, and why he wants African money to keep moving inside Africa instead of leaking out through foreign rails.
