The Bank of Botswana Fintech Portal is a platform designed to understand, support, and promote the growth of financial technology (Fintech) in Botswana. It provides a comprehensive view of the evolving local fintech ecosystem, offering insights into the players, innovations, and regulatory environment shaping the future of financial services.
Anchored in Botswana’s broader digital transformation agenda, this platform serves as a resource hub and gateway to:
• Facilitate access to the Bank of Botswana Regulatory Sandbox, allowing innovators to apply and test new fintech products and services in a safe, controlled environment under supervisory oversight.
• Promote innovation and responsible growth by highlighting trends, challenges, and opportunities in Botswana’s digital finance sector.
• Support evidence-based policy formulation through data-driven insights and stakeholder engagement.
• Provide a central knowledge hub for policymakers, investors, researchers, and entrepreneurs.
The Bank of Botswana Fintech Portal underscores the Bank of Botswana Digitalisation and Innovation Hub's commitment to harnessing technology and data to inform regulation, enable market development, and support the scaling of innovative financial services. Through the integration of the Regulatory Sandbox application process, the Portal becomes a practical gateway for innovators seeking regulatory clarity, testing support, and a streamlined path to market readiness.
We invite fintech companies, researchers, investors, and ecosystem partners to engage with this platform, whether by submitting Fintech Landscape Mapping survey data, exploring ecosystem insights, or applying to test solutions through the Regulatory Sandbox, to collectively shape a forward-looking digital financial services landscape in Botswana.
