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, describing it as part of 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 establish an office in Dakar, will strengthen its local presence and support digital development for citizens, businesses and public services.
Kane acknowledged 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 expand Visa’s engagement with local stakeholders as the company works to advance digital payments and support the development of Senegal’s wider digital economy.
The agreement reflects Visa’s efforts to strengthen its presence in the country while contributing to initiatives aimed at expanding secure and inclusive digital services.
