We specialise in the Young World, countries across Africa, the Middle East, and Asia with young populations and growing workforces, representing an unprecedented concentration of human and economic potential. About the Payments Service Line Across Africa, access to financial services is growing, but usage remains limited. This gap reflects a deeper reality: financial inclusion is not achieved by access alone, but by enabling people and businesses to use payments in ways that are affordable, trusted, and embedded in daily life. This is the problem we exist to solve. At Genesis Analytics, we are all in on strengthening digital public infrastructure, particularly the systems that make payments more secure and give small businesses and families access to the digital economy. We are building a borderless, real-time economy where every individual, business, and government is digitally enabled to participate and thrive. We work across the ecosystem, partnering with central banks, national switch operators, financial institutions, fintechs, card schemes, and development organizations. Our approach combines deep sector expertise, strong analytical capability, and hands-on implementation experience across Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and the broader young world. Our four complementary workstreams combine strategic insight with hands-on delivery: • Strategy — We develop data-driven payment and DFS roadmaps that connect national ambitions to practical, market-ready opportunities, designing phased implementation plans aligned with country-specific priorities, institutional capacity, and regional integration goals. • Research — We generate rigorous data, research, and actionable insights to inform decision-making and measure progress, including market diagnostics, benchmarking, and knowledge products that support evidence-based policy and investment decisions. • Program Management — When a country sets a bold vision, it's our responsibility to match that ambition with action. We drive the execution of complex payment and DFS initiatives, facilitating multi-stakeholder governance and providing hands-on assistance across all implementation phases. • Policy and Regulation — We support the design and modernization of policy and regulatory frameworks that enable competition, interoperability, financial inclusion, and consumer protection.

 Our goal is to make every payment inclusive.
