Biptap, the global blockchain-powered banking and fintech platform, has entered Africa with a landmark deal in the Central African Republic (CAR), signaling a major step in advancing digital banking and financial inclusion across the continent.
The partnership, signed by Biptap CEO Jonathan Low and CAR President Faustin-Archange Touadéra, positions the nation as a pioneer in blockchain adoption, introducing modern, secure, and accessible digital financial infrastructure to more than 5.5 million people.
The agreement underscores Africa’s growing influence in the global fintech ecosystem, as emerging markets accelerate the shift toward decentralized finance.
Biptap’s expansion aims to merge the stability of traditional banking with blockchain innovation, delivering scalable, privacy-focused solutions that close financial access gaps, strengthen trade integration, and stimulate economic growth.
Central Africa becomes a blockchain innovation hub
By bringing borderless financial services to unbanked populations, Biptap is set to boost cryptocurrency adoption, improve cross-border payments, and connect citizens with global financial networks.
The Central African Republic, one of the first African nations to adopt cryptocurrency at a national level, is now a focal point for Africa’s fintech transformation.
“This partnership is about freedom, opportunity, and access,” said Jonathan Low, CEO of Biptap. “We’re building infrastructure that allows Africa to leapfrog outdated financial systems and plug directly into the global digital economy.”
With crypto assets gaining traction in emerging markets, this deal cements CAR’s position as a key player in blockchain-driven banking models. It also creates new opportunities for the African diaspora by enabling faster remittances, digital asset investment, and cross-border wealth creation.

Biptap is already in advanced talks with regulators and central banks in multiple African countries to replicate its CAR model.
The company’s long-term vision is to build a unified, transparent, and future-ready financial ecosystem, linking governments, enterprises, and individuals through next-generation digital banking tools.
Biptap is a global fintech company with an operational presence in the United Arab Emirates, operating from Dubai.
Founded in 2021, Biptap processes over $120 million in monthly transactions and serves more than 200,000 users globally. Its African entry is a defining moment for the continent’s fintech landscape, laying the foundation for borderless finance, economic inclusion, and scalable growth opportunities.
