the region's largest fintech platform. M-PESA is the preferred
method to make payments across the continent, both for the
banked and unbanked, due to its safety and unmatched
convenience. It also provides financial services to millions of
people who have mobile phones but do not have bank
accounts or only have limited access to banking services.
Now, M-PESA provides service to more than 51 million
customers across seven African countries in a safe, secure

airtime, make bill payments, receive salaries, get short-term

between $2,000 and $50,000. Individuals and institutions can

PAYTM
By January 2017, Paytm, a mobile payments company that
started in 2010, became India's largest mobile payments
platform with over 142 million users and a $5 billion valuation.
Could Paytm become a $100 billion company, like its founder
Vijay Shekhar Sharma envisioned it?

PINEAPPLE
PINEAPPLE
While huge incumbent market participants traditionally
dominate the competitive landscape of the sector,
Pineapple's digital distribution strategy is more effective at
converting 'clicks-to-clients', at a fraction of the typical
customer acquisition cost. The peer-to-peer business model
also allows for superior risk selection, greater affinity, and
lower incidents of fraudulent claims.

TRUELAYER
In April 2021, having just raised $70 million in a Series D
funding, Francesco Simoneschi, Co-Founder and CEO of
TrueLayer, had plans about further expansion. Should the
company focus on product innovation, broadening its line-up
within the 13 countries it operates, or should it look to grow
beyond its European base? In the five years since its founding
in July 2016, the TrueLayer team has made significant progress
by winning customers and opening up new markets. Now,
there was a need to chart the next stage of growth.
