(Ecofin Agency) - Lun Partners, a Chinese investment group, and Goodwell Investments, as well as several investors, jointly invested $4.5 million in MFS Africa, a Pan-African technology company.
The latter which operates one of Africa’s largest digital payment networks announced that it will cooperate with Lun Partners to help Asian (especially Chinese) companies, with a particular focus on FinTech and e-commerce firms, offer services in Africa to boost the continent’s financial inclusion through the monetization of digital services.
