Passpoint Is Heading to Africa Blockchain Festival 2026
Passpoint is sponsoring Africa Blockchain Festival 2026 in Nairobi, October 15 to 17. The event brings together the builders, investors, and policymakers shaping African financial infrastructure.
MAY 29 - 5 MIN READ
The Africa Blockchain Festival is not just another fintech conference. It is where the builders, investors, policymakers, and operators shaping the future of African financial infrastructure gather in one place, compare notes, challenge assumptions, and form the partnerships that move the ecosystem forward.
That is the room Passpoint belongs in. And from October 15 to 17, 2026, we will be there.
Why ABF 2026
The conversation at ABF 2026 is one that matters deeply to what Passpoint is building. Blockchain, digital assets, payments, and Africa's digital economy are not separate conversations. They are converging into a single infrastructure question: how do you build the financial plumbing that makes African and global commerce work as one system?
That question is the one Passpoint was built to answer.
Passpoint is the financial orchestration layer for Africa, Europe, and the G20. We do not just move money, we govern how money moves, connecting 42 payment corridors through a single integration so businesses can collect, route, settle, and reconcile across African and global markets without rebuilding their payment infrastructure for every new market they enter.
The Africa Blockchain Festival brings together the people who understand why this infrastructure matters and why building it correctly is one of the most important challenges in African fintech today. Being in that room is not just visibility. It is positioning Passpoint at the centre of the conversation that defines the next chapter of African financial infrastructure.
What Passpoint Is Bringing to Nairobi
Our founders will be on the ground in Nairobi across the three days of the festival, and we are bringing the Passpoint infrastructure story into every conversation we are part of.
The story is a simple one, even if the infrastructure behind it is not. Africa has built extraordinary payment rails. NIP in Nigeria. M-Pesa in Kenya. Mobile money networks across the XOF region. These are world-class systems that work exceptionally well within their own markets. The problem is that they were built for domestic use, and the layer connecting them to each other and to global markets has not been built with the depth and governance that serious cross-border commerce requires.
That is the gap Passpoint fills, not by replacing the rails, but by sitting above them and orchestrating how they work together for businesses operating across markets simultaneously.
At ABF 2026, we want to have the conversations that matter. With the founders building cross-border fintech products on African rails. With the investors thinking about where the infrastructure opportunity is in African financial services. With the policymakers and regulators shaping the frameworks that will determine what African payment infrastructure looks like in five years. And with the businesses that are scaling across African and global markets and running into the payment complexity that orchestration infrastructure exists to resolve.
The Bigger Picture
There is a moment happening in African financial infrastructure right now that does not get named clearly enough.
The rails have been built. Africa has done the work of constructing domestic payment systems that genuinely work. The next phase is not building more rails. It is building the connectivity and governance layer that makes the rails that exist globally usable for the businesses operating across them.
That shift, from rail construction to rail orchestration, is what Passpoint is building toward. And the Africa Blockchain Festival is the event where the people who understand that shift are gathering to discuss what it requires and what it enables.
We are proud to be supporting ABF 2026 and looking forward to the conversations it makes possible.
