If there’s a way to make processing payments simpler, Nkanyiso Khumalo wants to find it. He’s the director of network processing and real-time payments for Visa, developing and executing processing strategies in southern Africa.
This involves working with a global technology team to design solutions fit for African markets. He also focuses on building innovative real-time payment technologies and modernising Africa’s payment infrastructure.
Khumalo has established himself as an innovator who tries to understand the root cause of a problem to find the right solution. He joined Visa’s Management Team in Southern Africa at age 29, and soon realised he had something valuable to contribute. “This led to me being bold in my submissions and to collaborate with fellow leaders around the table in resolving issues,” he says.
His aim is for everyone to have access to and confidence in making digital payments in the most effective way.
“Spend more time with people who are where you want to be.”
