The Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) has said payments fintech Flutterwave and Chipper Cash are not licensed to operate in Kenya in what could be a major blow to the two fast-rising African startups.
CBK governor Patrick Njoroge while responding to questions during Wednesday’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting said the two firms are not allowed to operate remittance businesses or offer payment services to merchants in the country.
