What happens when digital payments become truly interoperable? In a new episode of the Tech Talks Daily podcast, Neil C. Hughes speaks with Steve Haley, Director of Market Development at the Mojaloop Foundation, about how open and interoperable instant payment systems are helping expand financial access across Africa and other emerging markets.
The conversation examines the real-world challenges that still limit participation in the digital economy. In many countries, closed payment ecosystems can leave funds trapped between providers, restrict merchant acceptance, and make even simple transactions more difficult than they should be.
The discussion also explores the Liberian Inclusive Instant Payments System, deployed in just 73 business days through collaboration between the Central Bank of Liberia, ThitsaWorks, the AfricaNenda Foundation, and the Mojaloop Foundation. Steve shares insights into the future of cross-border payments in Africa and why interoperable digital infrastructure could help expand financial participation and regional trade.
