We’re excited to share that Franc has been named a finalist for FinTech App of the Year at the SA FinTech Awards 2026! 🎉
Being recognised alongside others shaping how South Africans save means a lot to us.
Here’s to helping more people grow what matters. 🌱
Fintech customers have changed their questions.
Not "how fast can I onboard" anymore. Now it's: is my money safe, are the fees real, will anyone answer when it breaks?
The fintechs pulling ahead are getting those basics right.
Trust is the growth strategy now.

Founders want funding. Investors want proof.

South African fintechs do not struggle only with access to capital.
They also struggle with access to the right regulatory, industry and partnership conversations early enough to shape their decisions.
That is where ecosystem membership becomes valuable.
Implication: the strongest fintechs will not build in isolation.

Financial inclusion isn't only about the people using financial services.
It's also about the people building them.
This week, we launched the first Meet the FINASA Co-Founders session as part of KasiTech, bringing together founders building for South Africa's township and informal economy.
Over the coming weeks, we'll be sharing their stories and exploring the bigger challenges they're working to solve, because the future of financial inclusion will be shaped by the people building solutions closest to the communities they serve.
The Township Economy Is Your Economy. Own It.

The SARB's draft Offshore Merchant Directive could reshape how cross-border payments are processed in South Africa.
It requires domestic transactions to be issued and acquired locally while introducing a regulatory framework for cross-border payment facilitators.
FINASA is reviewing the draft and will submit an industry response. Members will have the opportunity to contribute before we file.

South African fintech just had one of its most decisive regulatory months yet.
Stablecoin rules. Capital flow reform. Non-bank payment licensing.
