The Cultural Code of Fintech: Trust, Tradition & Transformation in North Africa ๐Ÿบ๐Ÿ’ณ๐ŸŒฑ
North Africaโ€™s fintech boom is deeply tied to its unbanked population, which remains one of the largest in the world. While startups like Sahl, Khazna, and Flouci focus on financial inclusion, a hidden challenge is cultural reluctance toward formal banking systemsโ€”many people prefer cash transactions over digital banking due to trust issues with institutions. The fintech revolution isn't just about technology; it's a cultural shift. Success depends on education, accessibility, and trust-building, not just innovation. This is why fintech startups that integrate community-driven financial education and microfinance models are gaining more traction than purely tech-driven solutions.
