Rwanda’s national e-payment system, RSwitch, has partnered with one of Africa’s fintech experts, EFT Corporation. This partnership comes in a bid to develop Rwanda’s financial technology, giving Rwandans ingress to their finances on various technology platforms.
RSwitch is set to gain massively from this contract, which includes swift transactions from bank to bank, ATM, and mobile money transactions. These aids will come from EFT’s end-to-end payment solution.
The actualization of these benefits will give Rwanda an acceleration in its local economy.

The East African technology ecosystem is gradually taking a new shape, as other nations in this region are doing one thing to improve its development. In the last few days, we have seen partnerships in Uganda for AI development and Kenya’s latest NIFC for fintech. So a change is taking place in East Africa.
