Host of the 3rd Annual ADF-Summit 2025

As a key driver in Africa's financial ecosystem, South Africa leads in digital finance innovation, providing an ideal backdrop for the 3rd Annual African Digital Finance Summit (ADF-Summit) in 2025. The financial sector in South Africa accounts for nearly 20% of the nation’s GDP, underscoring its significance within the economy. The South African banking industry, the largest in Africa, reached a combined tier 1 capital of over $42.2 billion USD in 2022. With initiatives aimed at financial inclusion, millions of previously unbanked citizens now have greater access to financial services and the broader economy.
