Relationships and all manners of interactive exchanges between
people form the soul of every society. The higher the rate of
relationships and productive exchanges, the more
prosperous a society becomes economically and culturally. When people
say that ‘Africa is rising’, they don’t merely mean that GDP
figures are growing or infrastructure is being built or per capita incomes are
rising. What they mean is that Africans are interacting with each other at a
heightened and accelerating rate, exploring individual and collective
strengths.
Transactions are the individual units of economic
interactions between us. We once understood transactions as queuing up for half
a day at the NEPA office to pay the electricity bill and keep the lights on
even though we would be too tired to watch TV with our families after getting
home. We understood transactions as having to carry around huge cash sums and
endure several inconvenient and time-consuming processes just to execute business
and live what was supposed to be a normal life.
We now understand transactions as secure, accessible and easy
functions which we can do at the touch of a button on a smartphone screen. We
understand transactions as using our banks’ mobile apps
to manage our accounts, effect transfers and receive notifications without leaving
the comfort of our homes. We understand transactions as taking care of bills
and lifestyle expenses without having to get out of bed. We understand
transactions as doing what we want, when we want, the way we want and where
it suits us. The volume of transactional exchange in Africa is
exploding through unseen roofs and the future looks even
better.
This future is a future where you can safely and securely carry
out instant transactions, however you have decided to define them –
whatever the reason – without sacrificing your time and effort. It is a future
where you will have more time to do the things you love with the ones you love.
It is a future where the old way of thinking about transactions is replaced
by experiences built on intuitive exchange.
Transactions at the speed of thought.
