Intreensic Bridges Africa's Fintech Skills Gap with Competitive Certifications
In Africa, Intreensic is addressing the significant challenge of the skills gap in the fintech industry, particularly in the payments field. The company aims to create structured pathways for professionals to enter the payments sector, offering globally competitive certifications in compliance, risk management, data analytics, and other in-demand skills for 2025 and beyond.
The misconception that fintech is solely for coders and software engineers is a barrier to attracting talent in Africa. Intreensic is addressing this by promoting adaptability and a customer-centric mindset as essential for success. The company's focus areas include compliance, risk management, data science, and cybersecurity, all crucial skills for the African payments and fintech ecosystem.
Many professionals in Africa's payments industry lack structured knowledge, leading to compliance failures and poor customer experiences. Intreensic is stepping in to provide structured training, certifications, and mentorship to address this issue. The shortage of skilled professionals is a major bottleneck in Africa's payments and fintech ecosystem, with employers struggling to find candidates with the right mix of skills.
Intreensic is leveraging Africa's rapid digital payments growth to develop instant, integrated, and inclusive financial technology solutions. These solutions cater to the digitally native young population, emphasizing frictionless payments, biometric verification, contactless transactions, and embedded finance for sustainable scaling. Despite strong investment inflows and mobile-first adoption driving Africa's fintech growth, talent development has lagged behind. Intreensic's initiatives aim to bridge this gap, fostering a more skilled and competitive workforce in Africa's fintech industry.
