Volume 22 - The Switch Newsletter

A Word from Mitchell - Rising Together

“If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.”This famous quote, weather-bitten as it is, reveals that the path to sustainable success is rarely a solo journey but one forged through collaboration, shared ideas, and the combined efforts of various parties working toward a common goal.  Interswitch’s 22-year journey has been one of innovation driven by collaboration and strategic partnerships — a testament to the strength of collective effort in building Africa’s vibrant digital payments and technology ecosystem.    At Interswitch, rising together means recognizing that every voice matters and that true progress happens when we lift each other up. It’s about creating an environment where everyone feels empowered to contribute, challenge ideas, and drive innovation. When colleagues and partners operate with trust, transparency, and mutual respect, challenges become stepping stones, and solutions emerge through the beautiful and rich tapestry of diverse perspectives. This edition of the newsletter tells a story of our Rising Together - with customers, colleagues, partners, and other stakeholders. It highlights how we show up and support the communities within which we operate, as well as the partners and customers who entrust us with the gift of collaboration.  As we support one another, we strengthen the foundation upon which our collective success is built, resulting in fulfillment for the various parties involved. This sentiment came to the fore this quarter as we deepened our collaboration with various partners on the local and international scenes, a testament to the fact that when we work together, we create lasting impact, inspire others, and chart a path to new frontiers. As we bid farewell to the outgoing financial year and look ahead to a new one, we shall continue to define our path of collaborative success by nurturing partnerships across sectors, empowering businesses, and driving financial inclusion. Together, we will break barriers, set new standards, and rise as we continue to inspire Africa to greatness.
