Ghanaian FinTech Nsano has appointed Priscilla Hazel as its new CEO as part of its growth strategy to expand across Africa. Hazel, who took up her role in early 2025, succeeds founder Kofi Owusu-Nhyira and brings extensive leadership experience to the company’s ongoing pan-African ambitions.
Nsano currently operates in 15 African countries, providing a mobile money aggregation platform and remittance processing services. The firm has secured key partnerships with regional financial players such as Arab Financial Services and recently received a payments licence in Rwanda, facilitating further expansion.
Under Hazel’s leadership, Nsano aims to deepen its footprint in the growing digital financial ecosystem across Africa. Hazel commented, “Our mission is to connect African economies through seamless digital payments and create inclusive financial solutions that empower individuals and businesses.”
The company’s platform integrates multiple mobile money providers into a single API, simplifying cross-border payments and supporting the continent’s expanding digital economy. Nsano’s focus on interoperability and accessibility addresses challenges faced by many African markets, where fragmented payment systems can hinder commerce.
Nsano’s growth trajectory reflects the broader trend of FinTech innovation across Africa, driven by increasing smartphone adoption, supportive regulations and growing demand for digital financial services.
With Hazel at the helm, Nsano plans to accelerate product development, expand partnerships and explore new markets, aiming to become a leading Pan-African FinTech platform.
