Cross-border payments are the lifeblood of the global economy. For individuals sending money home to loved ones, they provide a financial lifeline, and for merchants, they are critical for growth and unlocking new markets.

Billing errors in business rarely start with drama, but they often end there. Just look at O2, one of the UK’s largest mobile networks, which overcharged 140,000 customers because a long-standing billing fault went unnoticed for years, ultimately resulting in a £10.5 million fine. Or E.ON Next, the UK arm of one of Europe’s major energy provide

This month at Web Summit, I sat beside Fernando Cabral, Founder of Djassi Africa, to unpack a question that has been following me from meeting rooms to founder calls to every event I attend.
