Sam Paapa Opoku

Consultant in the United Kingdom

I'm a fintechpreneur and a consultant with great love for developing products for financial inclusion.

I'm based in United Kingdom, but spends a lot of my time in Sub-Sahara Africa supporting banks, financial institutions and fintech start-ups (some of which I'm the founder), on payments, agency banking, branchless banking and share banking intiatives.

I'm a strong believer of shared banking, a concept I believe will close the gap between the banked and the unbanked. In few words, irrespective of where one bank's, s/he should be able to do banking anywhere from everywhere.

A customer of Bank A should be able to walk to Bank B to deposit/withdraw money to/from an account held with Bank A. Any customer should also be able to walk to any retail shop or outlet to request for any financial service - These, among other related work, is what I devote my life to.

Besides United Kingdom, you may find me in Ghana, Uganda, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Rwanda, Tanzania, Cameroon, DRC and Zambia. Soon enough, I will be everywhere in Africa executing my cause.

Less I forget, I'm also a a tech enthusiast with passion for making existing processes better with the use of technology. I guess being a fintechpreneur probably qualifies that.. but I can't end this without mentioning it :)
