The rulebook for African fintech regulation
Afriset turns scattered, official African regulatory data into a clean, computed, cross-country-normalized layer that people and machines can actually use. First slice: who is licensed to issue e-money — Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana — assembled from the official regulator registers, normalized so it's finally comparable, every fact sourced and dated.
