What Was Africa Fintech Forum 2025?
Africa Fintech Forum 2025 was held in Johannesburg, South Africa, on 19 February 2025. Africa's leading annual fintech and blockchain forum in the continent's financial capital, bringing together African fintech founders, blockchain builders, FSCA South Africa compliance specialists, and pan-African digital payment innovators for sessions on South Africa's CASP licensing experience, Africa-wide fintech adoption, and blockchain for African financial inclusion. The official site is Africa Fintech Forum 2025. FSCA South Africa (Financial Sector Conduct Authority) had accumulated over a year of CASP licensing operational experience. {el("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Financial_Sector_Conduct_Authority","FSCA")} Johannesburg as Africa's financial capital gave the forum institutional finance context unavailable at most African fintech events.

How FSCA's CASP Experience and Johannesburg's Financial Hub Status Made February the Right Forum
