PAPSS COWRY Lagos 2025: Africa Takes Charge in the Future of Payments

The inaugural PAPSS COWRY Lagos 2025 conference opened its doors on Tuesday at the Lagos Continental Hotel, sending a clear message to Africa’s financial community: This continent is ready to define its own payment future. 19 countries are already connected through the Pan-African Payment and Settlement System (PAPSS), and this ambitious project aims to address Africa’s fragmentation in payments and create a borderless African market under the African Continental Free Trade Area.
