Intelligence Summary
Afriex's new banking partnership enhances cross-border payment infrastructure, promising faster, more compliant transactions crucial for businesses in high-growth African markets.
Afriex, a cross-border payments infrastructure company processing over $600 million annually, has partnered with Global Innovations Bank (GIB).

This underpins smoother financial flows essential for economic expansion.
