Visa has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Senegal’s Ministry of Telecommunications and Digital Affairs to support the country’s digital transformation and strengthen its digital economy.
Aminata Kane, Visa’s Senior Vice President and Group Country Manager, announced the agreement, saying it reflects the company’s commitment to Senegal and its ambition to contribute to a more inclusive, secure and resilient digital economy.
The agreement was announced as Dakar hosts the 2026 Youth Olympic Games, for which Visa is a partner. The company said the MoU, alongside plans to open an office in Dakar, will strengthen its local presence and support digital development for citizens, businesses and public services.
Kane thanked Senegal’s Minister of Telecommunications and Digital Affairs, Samba Diouf, and his team for their trust and commitment to the partnership.
The planned Dakar office is expected to further establish Visa’s presence in Senegal as it works with local stakeholders to advance digital payments and the country’s broader digital economy.
