MobileMoney Fintech LTD Ghana CEO Shaibu Haruna has called for a broader approach to digital financial services that goes beyond transaction volumes to help customers build long-term financial resilience.
Speaking on Day 2 of the MTN Group Fintech Summit 2026 in Johannesburg, Mr Haruna said fintech providers must focus on deepening financial access by enabling more people to save, invest and access credit.
He made the remarks during a panel discussion with fintech chief executives from Zambia, Cameroon and Nigeria on the future of digital financial services.
Mr Haruna said the sector’s future should be centred on helping people make meaningful financial progress rather than focusing solely on the movement of money through digital platforms.
His comments placed financial resilience at the centre of the evolving role of fintech, highlighting the need to expand the benefits of digital financial services beyond transactions.
“The future of fintech is about more than moving money. It’s about creating meaningful financial progress,” he said.
