Offering cutting-edge FX, payments, and financial services, AZA Finance has expanded to 10 African markets to date, executing more than £200 billion in global transactions across 115+ countries and 300+ currency pairs. Last year, AZA Finance further expanded with its most recent acquisition of South African payments company Exchange4Free – making the company the largest non-bank provider of currency exchange in Africa.

Together the companies will work to expand Web3 in Africa in five key ways:

1. Connect African markets to the global Web3 economy by building vital infrastructure
2. Create pathways for African users to participate and learn about the Web3 economy including educational resources & networking opportunities
3. Make it easier than ever to deposit and pay out in African currencies on FTX.com, including mobile money and local bank account integrations
4. Launch African currency and digital currency trading pairs
5. Onboard African NFTs and artists to the FTX NFT marketplace
