digital payments and technology.

the characteristics to lead the next chapter of digital commerce, while
emphasising the opportunity to turn that potential into tangible growth for
businesses, consumers and communities.
“What gives me confidence is
the momentum that already exists across our ecosystem,” Moodley said.
She added that continued
collaboration, innovation and efforts to build trust would help create greater
opportunities for businesses, consumers and communities.
