Read about how a fintech company started by a young Angolan woman is empowering people to participate in the digital economy by facilitating digital payments and promoting financial inclusion. In 2016, Fátima Almeida launched BayQi, which now offers a digital wallet, a marketplace, a mobile payment system, and acts as a payment account for commercial partners. The company has ambitious plans – first, to expand across Portuguese-speaking African countries and, eventually, to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
