FinTech Entrepreneurs

There is no better time than now to be in the FinTech space, particularly as an agile entrepreneur or tech SME. Digital wallets, internet banking, alternative point of sales and mobile financial products all provide life-altering options to a largely unbanked African market. However, because of the very nature of Financial Technology, it can be challenging to get past the red tape after investing the time to innovate, particularly if it involves disrupting historically traditional industries. This is why MAFH exists, if you join the Mauritius Africa FinTech Hub you’ll:

- Be plugging your business into a network of pan-African, Mauritian governments, corporates, FSPs, investors, FinTech businesses and tech experts.
- Get assistance with regulatory sandbox licences as well as business registration.
- Have access to resources and knowledge from other tech businesses that form part of the ecosystem.
- Have the opportunity to get in touch with potential investors and other funding sources.
- A number of African FinTech startups have made Mauritius their home, providing a proven template for business that want to enter African markets via Mauritius.
- Attend roundtable events with regulatory bodies.
- Be supported by the MAFH team’s in-house legal expert, with extensive experience in FinTech regulation.
- Benefit from Mauritian investor agreements in place that can act as buffers for businesses looking to enter new growing African markets.
