Amidst a challenging economic backdrop, Africa is poised for substantial growth in 2024, projecting the second-highest growth rate globally. This growth is intricately tied to the increasing importance of modern and efficient payment systems across the continent, with several notable trends shaping the landscape of innovation in finance.
Leading the Charge: Mobile Payment Revolution
Africa is witnessing a transformative wave in financial technology, with mobile-based money transfer services emerging as the dominant force in personal finance. The COVID-19 pandemic has further highlighted the shift towards contactless transactions, making mobile payments more indispensable than ever.
With a young population, Africa’s interest in mobile payments and alternate forms of financial planning are expected to gain further traction, with increased demand this year. Key players like Dalapay are customizing services to meet this demand, facilitating seamless payments through online platforms or apps using mobile devices. Dalapay’s Mobile Money service allows people to make payments online or in stores using their mobile device.
Mobile Money has created a secure and highly convenient way for people to transact on the go, another step forward in the ongoing fintech revolution.
Digital Expansion: Beyond Traditional Banking
In the upcoming year, heightened investments in digital banking infrastructure are expected, encompassing broadband internet and electronic point-of-sale (POS) systems. These advancements aim to enhance transaction speed, efficiency, and record-keeping, while also providing users with a broader spectrum of payment options.
Despite the growing influence of digital services and cryptocurrencies, bank transfers remain integral to Africa’s payment ecosystem. Dalapay is addressing the need for seamless bank transfers across the continent, facilitating effortless transactions between local and international bank accounts. This flexibility in financial management caters to various industries, including online casinos, betting companies, and forex trading, which heavily rely on bank transfers for large-scale transactions.
Rise of Digital Wallets
Africa is gradually moving away from physical cash, with digital wallets gaining significant traction, particularly in areas with limited banking access. As one of the most underbanked regions globally, Africa presents a strong demand for payment solutions that offer easy registration processes without mandating bank accounts.
Services like Dalapay’s E-Wallet are designed with streamlined registration procedures, requiring minimal documentation. As mobile phone ownership continues to rise across the continent, the adoption of e-wallets is expected to mirror this growth, facilitating billions of dollars in transactions annually. Dalapay’s E-Wallet service encompasses digital fiat currency payments and integrates cryptocurrencies, offering efficient solutions for both businesses and consumers.
Emerging Trends in African Payment Services
QR-code integrations and the emergence of “super apps” offering multifunctional capabilities are gaining popularity in Africa’s online banking landscape. Additionally, embedded finance services are on the rise, providing comprehensive financial management solutions from a single platform, emphasizing convenience.
The significance of cross-border payments cannot be overstated, with remittance payments in Sub-Saharan Africa exceeding $56 billion in 2023 alone, underscoring their vital role in the region’s economy.
Dalapay: Pioneering Payment Solutions
Dalapay serves as a pivotal payment gateway, offering a diverse array of payment solutions tailored to individual and business needs. From its widely-used Mobile Money service to its E-wallet designed for high-volume B2B transactions, Dalapay transfers provides seamless bank transfer processing, cryptocurrency settlement, card payment processing, and voucher services.

Servercore customers also benefit from paying for services in local currency, free data migration services, 99.98% SLA and free 24/7 customer service support.

Victoria Kleinbort, Country Manager for Kenya at Servercore, noted:
“Kenya has experienced exponential growth that has placed it at the forefront of the digital revolution in East Africa. Nairobi, Kenya’s capital city, has earned the nickname ‘ Silicon Savannah’ due to its rapidly growing reputation as a technology hub. The growth has resulted mainly from technological innovations, entrepreneurial spirit, government support, and a favourable dynamic and tech-savvy workforce.
For example, Kenya’s success with mobile money services such as M-Pesa and Airtel money and the wide adoption of mobile technology have played a crucial role in driving digital transactions. The rise of e-commerce and the growing increase in digital payment continue to become integral to Kenya’s retail sector. Also, the country’s thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem boasts a strong focus on technology and innovation. The introduction of e-government services in the country, such as immigration and business registration, transport services, and more, makes it easier for Kenyan citizens to access government information and services online. Tech hubs, startups, and other business enterprises are flourishing and contributing to developing innovative cloud solutions and services. In 2022, the Kenyan government launched a ten-year Digital Master Plan 2022-2032to enhance Kenya’s digital economy, focusing on digital infrastructure, data management, services, skills development, and innovation. With a growing demand for digital infrastructure services in Kenya, we see a significant opportunity for our partners to tap into this market and capitalize on the digital transformation journeys of businesses in the region and beyond. ”

In today’s rapidly evolving world, technological advancements have unleashed a wave of disruptions and innovations across various sectors of the global economy. The integration of AI and machine learning across Africa promises transformative effects across various sectors.
A recent report suggests that AI and ML technology could increase Africa’s economy by a remarkable $1.5 trillion – a figure that equals half of the continent’s current gross domestic product.
Nigeria, like many developing nations, struggled for years with slow progression and cumbersome processes in its economy. However, the emergence of technological disruptors, such as artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and machine learning, has transformed the Nigerian landscape, paving the way for unprecedented growth and development.
Artificial intelligence, the ability of computer systems to mimic cognitive functions, has the potential to revolutionize various sectors and empower Nigeria’s economy. With AI, businesses can leverage data-driven insights and automation to enhance decision-making processes, boost operational efficiency, and derive valuable market intelligence. From customer segmentation to predictive analytics, AI enables companies to optimize their marketing strategies, improve customer experience, and enhance product development.
With more cities vying to become smart cities across the continent, Internet of Things (IoT) with its ability to create a network of interconnected devices and sensors, these cities can transform their industries, households, and public systems with intelligent transportation systems, efficient energy management solutions, fast and secure payments. IoT-enabled solutions can be explored to address key challenges, such as traffic congestion, energy inefficiency, insecurity, and inadequate infrastructure. By employing IoT, businesses can enhance supply chain efficiency, reduce costs, and unlock new revenue streams through innovative services and products.
IoT-enabled devices facilitate seamless payment experiences, from contactless payments to smart wallets, revolutionizing how consumers interact with financial services.
By leveraging the power of machine learning, financial institutions can streamline operations, mitigate risks, and provide tailor-made services to their customers. Machine learning, a subset of AI, enables computer systems to learn from data and improve performance without explicit programming. This technology holds the key to unlocking tremendous value across various sectors and economies throughout the African continent.
In the financial services sector, machine learning algorithms can analyze massive volumes of transactional data, detect fraud, identify patterns, personalize customer experiences, optimize pricing strategies, and anticipate market trends.
According to a report by Tekedia, AI has had a substantial impact on fintech operations. By utilizing AI, fintech firms enhance processes and user experiences in digital banking, payments, and personal finance. This adoption of AI promises increased efficiency, greater financial inclusion, and enhanced consumer experiences in Africa’s fintech sector.
Just as the impact of AI, IoT, and machine learning is not limited to sectors, it is not bound by local markets; it extends to regional and international markets, across multiple sectors. For instance, Nigeria’s digital payment and e-commerce companies play a crucial role in driving cross-border transactions, promoting financial inclusion, and bolstering the nation’s position in the global marketplace. By embracing AI, IoT, and machine learning, businesses can offer seamless and secure payment solutions, cater to diverse customer needs, and establish a competitive edge in the international arena.
Furthermore, the intersection of AI, IoT, and machine learning has proven to have the capacity to transform Nigeria’s financial services landscape by addressing significant challenges like identity verification, credit scoring, and fraud detection. Traditional methods of assessing creditworthiness often leave out a vast portion of the population, leading to limited access to financial services. By leveraging AI’s predictive capabilities and IoT-enabled monitoring systems, financial institutions can develop innovative credit scoring models, expanding access to credit for underserved communities.
The potential for growth through the adoption of AI, IoT, and machine learning in Nigeria is undeniable. As we navigate the digital age, business leaders, policymakers, and decision-makers must seize the opportunity to drive our economy forward. There should be increased collaboration between the public and private sectors, deliberate investment in infrastructure and talent development, and the creation of a conducive operating environment and enabling regulations to ensure sustainable growth.
In adopting these technologies, organizations should cultivate a culture of innovation and embrace digital disruption to drive growth, improve productivity, and provide better services to customers. Strategic initiatives around collaborations, research programs, and partnerships with technologically advanced economies and organizations will further accelerate Nigeria’s journey toward becoming a critical part of the fourth industrial revolution (FIR).
On a larger scale, it is important for African nations, including Nigeria, to collaborate and share knowledge with other countries on the continent. This can foster a culture of innovation, drive talent development, and accelerate the adoption of technological disruptions in Africa. Governments should invest in infrastructure development and create an enabling regulatory environment to support the growth of these technologies across the continent.
A PWC study highlights the significant opportunities in the adoption of AI, projecting a potential contribution of up to $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030. It emphasizes the need for strategic investment in AI technology to unlock this value. AI is expected to enhance labor productivity, stimulate consumer demand, and drive substantial economic gains. AI is poised to be a key driver of transformation, disruption, and competitive advantage in the evolving economy.
As the tide of technological disruptions builds in Africa, businesses, governments, and individuals must ride the wave and lead the continent into a future driven by innovation and competitiveness. By embracing AI, IoT, and machine learning, African countries can position themselves as global technology powerhouses and drive sustainable growth and development. The era of slow progress and cumbersome processes in Africa’s economies is behind us, and the future holds endless opportunities for transformation and prosperity.

Launched in January 2024, WorldForce™ is a trailblazing initiative with an ambitious goal: empowering 50,000 skilled individuals across Africa with their H-1B visa applications while collaborating with companies of all sizes especially big tech and big consulting. The H-1B visa program acts as a valuable gateway for foreign professionals with specialized skills to work in the US. However, securing a visa can be a complex and intensely competitive process, often riddled with bureaucratic intricacies and financial obstacles. WorldForce™ steps in to bridge this gap by providing comprehensive support and expert guidance throughout the entire application journey, empowering talented individuals to navigate the complexities and pursue their American dreams.

Vesti is urging the 200+ Africans through its WorldForce™ to file as soon as possible to avoid potential delays. The next step is to proceed to the H-1B Petition filing stage where their credentials and their employer’s document’s will be submitted to the USCIS for consideration.
Vesti takes on the challenging H-1B application process with WorldForce™, offering personalized guidance through immigration attorneys and migration support loans to ease the journey for applicants. Moreover, WorldForce™ fosters economic growth and cultural exchange between Africa and the US, empowering African professionals to contribute to American innovation while supporting their home countries’ development and enhancing diversity in US companies.

Rezence wireless charging has become increasingly popular in recent years, offering a convenient and cable-free way to keep our devices powered up. However, with various Rezence wireless charging technologies available, it’s important to understand how they can impact the health and longevity of our device batteries. In this article, we’ll explore the two main types of Rezence wireless charging technologies, inductive charging and resonant charging, and their effects on battery health.
Rezence wireless charging is a convenient way to power up your devices without having to fumble with cables. But how do the different Rezence wireless charging technologies affect battery health? There are two main types of Rezence wireless charging technologies: inductive charging and resonant charging. Inductive charging uses a magnetic field to transfer energy from a charging pad to a device. Resonant charging uses electromagnetic waves to transfer energy over a longer distance.
Inductive Charging
Inductive charging is the most common type of VN88 Rezence wireless charging. It works by placing a charging pad on a surface and then placing your device on the pad. The charging pad creates a magnetic field that induces an electric current in the device’s battery.
Efficiency and Speed
Inductive charging is relatively efficient, but it can be slow. The charging speed depends on the strength of the magnetic field and the distance between the charging pad and the device.
Heat Buildup
Inductive charging can also cause heat buildup in the device’s battery. This can lead to decreased battery life and, in some cases, battery damage. Excessive heat can accelerate the degradation of battery cells, reducing their capacity and overall lifespan.
Here are a few paragraphs explaining the impacts of heat buildup on battery health:
Lithium-ion batteries, which are commonly used in modern devices, are particularly sensitive to heat. When exposed to high temperatures, the chemical reactions within the battery cells can become unstable, leading to increased internal resistance and a loss of capacity over time.
Additionally, heat can cause the electrolyte solution within the battery to evaporate more quickly, further degrading the battery’s performance. This is why many device manufacturers recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or other high-temperature environments.
To mitigate the effects of heat buildup during inductive charging, some devices and charging pads incorporate cooling mechanisms, such as fans or heat sinks. However, these additional components can increase the overall cost and complexity of the charging system.
Resonant Charging
Resonant charging is a newer type of VN88 Rezence wireless charging technology. It works by using electromagnetic waves to transfer energy over a longer distance. The charging pad creates an electromagnetic field that resonates with a receiver coil in the device. This resonance allows energy to be transferred from the charging pad to the device even if there is a small gap between the two.
Efficiency and Speed
Resonant charging is more efficient than inductive charging and it can charge devices faster. It also produces less heat buildup in the device’s battery.
Reduced Heat Buildup
One of the key advantages of resonant charging is its ability to transfer energy more efficiently, resulting in less heat generation. This can significantly reduce the strain on the battery and extend its overall lifespan.
Here are a few paragraphs explaining why resonant charging produces less heat buildup:
Unlike inductive charging, which relies on direct contact between the charging pad and the device, resonant charging can transfer energy over a small gap. This air gap helps to dissipate heat more effectively, preventing it from building up in the device’s battery.
Additionally, resonant charging systems typically operate at higher frequencies than inductive charging systems. These higher frequencies allow for more efficient energy transfer, further reducing heat generation.
Some resonant charging systems also incorporate advanced algorithms and circuitry to monitor and adjust the energy transfer dynamically, optimizing efficiency and minimizing heat output.
Longer Charging Distance
Another advantage of resonant charging is its ability to charge devices over a longer distance than inductive charging. This can be particularly useful for charging multiple devices simultaneously or for charging devices that are difficult to position directly on a charging pad.

Which VN88 Rezence Wireless charging Technology Is Better for Battery Health?
Resonant charging is better for battery health than inductive charging. It produces less heat buildup and it can charge devices more quickly. This means that resonant charging is less likely to damage your device’s battery over time.
However, it’s important to note that both inductive and resonant charging can still generate some heat, and prolonged exposure to high temperatures can be detrimental to battery health. It’s recommended to avoid leaving your device on a charging pad for extended periods of time, especially in warm environments.
Other Factors to Consider When Choosing a VN88 Wireless Charger
In addition to the type of VN88 Rezence wireless charging technology, there are a few other factors to consider when choosing a wireless charger:
Power output: The power output of a wireless charger determines how quickly it can charge your device. The higher the power output, the faster the charging speed.
Compatibility: Make sure that the wireless charger you choose is compatible with your device. Not all wireless chargers are compatible with all devices.
Size and portability: If you plan on taking your wireless charger with you, be sure to choose one that is small and portable.
Safety certifications: Look for wireless chargers that have been certified by reputable organizations, such as the Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) or the Air Fuel Alliance, to ensure they meet safety standards.
Additional Tips for Protecting Battery Health
In addition to choosing a wireless charger that is safe for your battery, there are a few other things you can do to protect your battery health:
Avoid overcharging your device: Once your device is fully charged, remove it from the charging pad to prevent overcharging, which can degrade the battery over time.
Avoid draining your battery completely: Try to keep your device’s battery level between 20% and 80% whenever possible. Letting it drain to 0% or charging it to 100% can strain the battery.
Keep your device out of extreme temperatures: Both extreme heat and extreme cold can damage your device’s battery. Avoid leaving it in direct sunlight or exposing it to freezing temperatures for prolonged periods.
Charge your device regularly: It’s better to charge your device regularly than to let it drain completely before recharging.
Use a battery-saving app: Many devices have built-in battery optimization features, or you can download a third-party battery-saving app to help extend your battery’s lifespan.
By following these tips, you can help extend the life of your device’s battery and keep it performing at its best.
Conclusion
VN88 Rezence wireless charging technology has come a long way, offering convenience and flexibility in keeping our devices powered up. While both inductive and resonant charging have their advantages, resonant charging is generally considered better for battery health due to its reduced heat buildup and more efficient energy transfer.
Ultimately, the choice between inductive and resonant charging will depend on your specific needs and device compatibility. However, by understanding the differences between these technologies and taking steps to minimize battery strain, you can help ensure your devices remain in top condition for years to come.

Body and display
The NOTE Note 40 is a rectangular lightweight device with smooth edges, weighing about 190g.
It comes in the colours Titan Gold and Obsidian Black. The look of the Obsidian Black is like staring into the black sky on a starry night. This device has a 94% screen-to-body ratio with ultra-thin bezels giving users a wide viewing area and great viewing experience.
The NOTE 40 pro is also a rectangular lightweight phone but it is thinner than the Note 40 Pro and weighs the same 190g. It comes in the colours Vintage Green and Titan Gold. The Vintage Green is a vegan leather skin that is scratch-resistant. It also comes with a similar coloured pouch that allows mag charging for convenience. This device has a 93.80% screen-to-body ratio with a curved corning-gorilla glass screen and barely visible bezels. This nearly bezel-less screen has an unobstructed display creating an immersive viewing experience. The fifth-generation Gorilla Glass screen is twice as scratch-resistant as other aluminium silicon glass and is strong enough to withstand 1.2 metre drop on hard surfaces.
Every device in the NOTE 40 series comes with dual speakers designed with JBL and gives high-quality audio output and a premium listening experience. The devices in this series all have on-screen fingerprint displays for easier usage and are all splash and dust resistant (IP54 rating).

Platnova is a fintech platform that facilitates payments to any continent in the world. The fintech’s goal is to become the only money app customers ever need and it is doing this by providing multi-currency accounts to customers and facilitating local and global money payments in one app. From international tuition payments to international money transfers, savings, and more, Platnova has something for everyone.
Platnova has something for everyone
With Platnova you can;
Own multi-currency wallets with instant currency conversion: When you register, you automatically get a local bank account number. To get another wallet in a different currency, all you need to do is click the flag that shows up on the local account in your profile and a list of foreign accounts will pop out. You can then choose the currency wallet you want to add.
International money transfers through Platnova are instant. To receive international transfers, directly in your account, the sender has to open a Platnova account too. All the money recipient needs to do is send their Nova tag to the sender and then the sender can credit the recipient’s account using the Nova tag to find them. For this review, we made a transfer from a Platnova account in China to a Platnova account in Nigeria and got credited in a dollar wallet in less than a minute (This process cost $25).
To send money locally and internationally, just click “send” on the wallet you want to transfer from. A conversion page will pop up and you can decide to send naira and the recipient will get it in dollars or any other currency directly into their bank account, Nova wallet, or crypto wallet instantly.
Save in multiple currencies: on the app there’s a vault to help you save in multiple currencies from 1 month to a year (12 months). This vault allows users to easily save in US Dollars, Euros, Pounds, or Naira and earn up to 11.5% in interest.
Users can also convert the money in their wallets to another currency to save and hedge against inflation. For example, if a user has money in their Nigerian wallet, they can choose to save in a US Dollar vault by simply selecting a dollar wallet as the “Saving currency”. The app will calculate the interest you’ll get so you can see how much you’re getting in interest upfront.
Make tuition fee payments: Without needing to travel or ask for assistance from an agent, you can make school payments directly to institutions very quickly and seamlessly. The process of finding one’s institution takes 5 seconds. From Cardiff University in the UK to the University of Alberta in Canada, or the University of Port Harcourt in Nigeria, you’ll find them all listed and you can pay tuition, feeding, registration, accommodation fees, and more with a simple transfer. To use this feature, users simply need an invoice with the school’s bank information and to input the payment instructions (What the payment is for and who is making it; student, guardian, parent, etc.)
This feature is great for people with wards schooling either locally or abroad. This feature cuts out middlemen and makes it easy to pay for school from the comfort of your home in any country.
Other features on the Platnova app include;
Global gift card payments: Purchase gift cards for Apple, Amazon, Asos, eBay, Netflix and more in multiple currencies
Bill payment: Buy airtime, electricity tokens, pay cable subscriptions, and more.
Buy, sell, and exchange crypto
Get a Platnova debit card (Verve) delivered to your doorstep.
Step 1: Register. Users need an email to receive an OTP from the platform so they can register. Input your email details, receive the OTP, input that, and get started.
Step 2: Set a password, pick your country of residence, and input your mobile number and address.
Step 3: Verify your identity. To enjoy the wide range of payment options Platnova has, users need to verify their identity. You need either a National ID number (card, slip, or virtual NIN), Voter’s ID, Driver’s licence, or international passport. For security purposes you’ll need picture evidence of your ID and also perform a liveness check (This is basically taking multi-angle selfies in a well-lit environment.)
After step 3, you now have an account to start making and receiving payments.
[ad]
With Platnova, no matter what country you’re in or where you go, all you need is one app and you can instantly start receiving and making payments. If you’d like to use Platnova, here are some quick pros and cons.
Pros:
Reliability: These features work. Most international money transfer platforms restrict African countries like Nigeria but Platnova makes it very easy to make and receive payments from anywhere. We tested some of these features and spoke to one of the co-founders about how Platnova operates.
Excellent customer service: The platform has 24/7 customer support with a response time of less than a minute.
Top-notch security: According to the company, they meet all the regulatory measures in the countries they operate.
Also, the app requires a PIN and face unlock/password to operate. Every time your phone screen goes off, the app locks you out and every time you switch to another app on your phone it also locks you out, even if the Platnova app is still running in the background. Other apps give you a few minutes after you switch to other apps before they ask for a password again but Platnova makes it impossible for someone using your phone to get access to your account. Turning on face unlock with this feature makes the app easier to use.
Cons:
Saving vault limits: The minimum you can save in your vault is ₦100,000 or $100.
Transfer restrictions: Some transfers only work from Platnova account to Platnova account. The dollar account you get in Nigeria has no account number attached so users can only receive money in that wallet from another Platnova account holder. Hopefully, this will change in the future.
