Shiga Digital Launches Mobile Applications to Revolutionize African Financial Infrastructure
In a groundbreaking move, Shiga Digital, a pioneering fintech company, has launched Android and iOS mobile applications. These applications are a significant step in Shiga Digital's mission, as outlined by Co-Founder and CEO Abiola Shogbeni, to level the financial playing field.
The mobile apps form part of Shiga Digital's digital finance platform, which continues to be built on blockchain technology and global collaboration. This platform eliminates traditional frictions such as high remittance costs, settlement delays, and currency instability.
Shiga Digital's strategic partnership with Tether, the global leader in stablecoin issuance and digital asset infrastructure, underscores a shared commitment to unlocking inclusive financial access, scaling blockchain adoption, and building future-proof solutions tailored to African economies.
The alliance with Tether reinforces Shiga Digital's role as a next-generation financial partner for Africa's digitally evolving economies. The mobile applications offer stablecoin payments, secure cross-border transactions, and blockchain-based asset services.
Shiga Digital partners with licensed financial transmitters in each market to ensure localized service delivery aligned with regional legal and financial standards. This approach underscores the company's dedication to creating a financially inclusive ecosystem that caters to the unique needs of mid-sized African enterprises.
The new Shiga Digital mobile apps bring intuitive, locally relevant financial tools directly to business owners across Africa. They are designed to redefine how value moves across borders securely, instantly, and inclusively.
In addition to the partnership with Tether, Shiga Digital has also partnered with Nomura Securities, a leading global financial services group. This strategic partnership further strengthens Shiga Digital's position in the African market and its commitment to modernizing financial infrastructure.
Abiola Shogbeni emphasized that Shiga Digital is building financial infrastructure that works for Africa. The rollout of the mobile suite marks a significant advancement in this mission, bringing Shiga Digital one step closer to its vision of a financially inclusive and digitally empowered Africa.
