Compliments of the season!

Indeed, it’s the season of celebration. Just a few weeks ago, precisely on the 4^th of December, Interswitch turned 20!

For us, the entire year has been both celebratory and reflective. We have continued to reminisce on our twenty-year journey, revisiting the cardinal decision points that set us on the path to success, and celebrating the impact we have created. This milestone is particularly surreal for the team members who have been with us from the early days.

We recall vividly the sincere attempts to do great work and inspire change, and how our passion-inspired efforts have crystalized into impactful solutions that have continued to power Nigeria's digital commerce and are now sweeping through Africa. It is akin to watching a baby grow from the cradle, completely dependent on you, into a full-fledged adult flying across the world and achieving great feats. What a feeling!

The organisations and individuals who have believed in us and partnered with us over the years have been the wind beneath our wings, urging us on and supporting our quest to inspire Africa to greatness, one solution per time. No doubt, we have several reasons to say, 'thank you’. Thank you to the believers, supporters, the switchers, challengers, and inspirers; everyone who has collaborated with us to bring this vision to life.

This milestone is however also reflective as it drives us to again consider closely the challenges still plaguing Africa and the critical role we can yet play in solving them and enabling Africa to thrive. That's why we are so certain that we can never stop. Our commitment is to Africa, to continue laying the rails that bring her swiftly to the desired landing zone of a prosperous continent where individuals and commerce thrive. As we continue to push the envelope and drive the frontiers of innovation, we are yet counting on your invaluable support, assured that together, we can herald Africa's future.

I congratulate every one of you for making it this far with us, we are glad to have you on board and we do not take your relationship with us for granted. We look forward to more years of mutually beneficial and seamless business collaboration across the board.

This commemorative edition of the newsletter takes you on a journey highlighting the key initiatives we deployed this quarter to celebrate our milestone anniversary. As we gradually wind down on our celebrations and look forward to the year ahead, we implore you to remain hopeful and optimistic about Africa's future as we jointly birth the continent of our dreams.
