Spot Money has launched what it believes to the be South Africa’s first Open Banking offering.
The move follows the 2020 acquisition of the Virgin Money South Africa business by a leading South African private equity firm, in partnership with the local executive management team.
Central to the rebrand of the company is the launch of the latest version of the Spot app.
Andre Hugo, who continues at the helm of the Spot Money business as CEO, says the app was a significantly revised offering which would introduce Spot’s entry into Open Banking, and heralds the beginning of a fundamentally different business strategy as the company drives fintech forward in South Africa.
