How Building Trust is a Catalyst for Growth in Africa’s Tech Sector

The tech sector in Africa is currently undergoing significant change and has tremendous growth potential. Even though it comes with its own set of difficulties, trust is the key to long-term success. It is frequently stated that trust is the foundation of long-term viability in business, and in this context, trust is not only a desirable quality. It is the foundation of relationships between organizations and their stakeholders, determining how well a business may function, lead, and prosper.  

Trust is the lifeblood of relationships between organisations and their stakeholders, defining a company’s ability to operate, lead, and thrive. Without it, credibility crumbles, and reputations falter. 

Conversely, trust provides the foundation for institutions to take informed risks, recover from setbacks, and build resilience over time. The basis for institutions to take calculated risks, bounce back from failures, and develop resilience over time, on the other hand, is trust. It supports consumer confidence, draws in astute investors, and establishes if new businesses succeed.

With numerous levies and uneven regulations, African economies can occasionally be a mess. In order to foster trust and enhance the relationships between their employees, investors, customers, and regulators, entrepreneurs must establish small pockets of enabling environments within their businesses and respective ecosystems rather than waiting for the government to do so.

Concerns regarding hidden fees, bad experiences in the past, online transaction security, return policies, product quality, delivery dependability, and inadequate consumer protection laws are shared by both parties. Trust is frequently built through relationships rather than transactions among firms, especially SMEs, underscoring the cultural significance of interpersonal ties. These factors highlight how crucial it is that African tech businesses prioritize trust-building as a key strategic objective, particularly as digital platforms.

The financial services industry provides more information about the dynamic of trust. In their 2021 assessment on the financial services landscape in Africa, McKinsey found that 67% of banking clients had more faith in traditional banks than in fintech firms. Key demographics, such as middle-aged, wealthy, and tech-savvy customers, are nonetheless cautious even if this gap has closed. Inadequate value-added services, poor user experiences, and inefficiencies like sluggish complaint resolution, clumsy apps, and a lack of financial tracking tools are common complaints.
