Fusion42 · 24 August 2026 · Fusion42 review

MTN Group's fintech transactions surged to $330 billion in the first half of 2026, driven by a 17% rise in volume and growth in advanced Mobile Money services. The company is focused on modernising distribution, expanding advanced fintech offerings like lending, and has gained regulatory approval for acquisitions and share buybacks.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Mobile Money is becoming the revenue engine in African fintech. You should target advanced payment and lending services, not basic transactions, as the market matures and regulation tightens.
