Dickson Nsofor

Dickson Nsofor founded Kora to make African payments easier for global businesses to access through a single infrastructure layer. Kora provides payment collection, payouts and other financial infrastructure across African markets, helping companies navigate the continent's fragmented banking and payment systems. Its reach into global settlement infrastructure is illustrated by its connection to IATA's Financial Gateway, which supports payment processing and settlement for airlines and travel suppliers. Nsofor also stands out for speaking unusually candidly about the cost of compliance and moving money across African markets. He belongs here for both the rails and the honesty about what building them actually costs.
