Chipper Cash Malawi is reported to be active with electronic money transfer solutions as the Pan-African FinTech start-up crosses its home-grown country, Nigeria, to acquire Value Added FinTech Services. The Malawian Communications Regulatory Authority (MACRA) signed and issued the license to Chipper Cash without contradicting its inland policy.

The local regulatory system will be mild on the Pan-African cross-border FinTech start-up on conditions that breaches MACRA’s policy. Breaching the Malawian regulatory policy does not evade Chipper Cash from policy scolds.
