Colin Marnewecke

Senior Vice President Africa / Head of Africa at MoneyGram |
Background

As Head of Africa at MoneyGram, I lead the charge in driving inclusive, scalable, and digitally enabled cross-border money movement across one of the world’s most dynamic regions. My focus is on unlocking growth across key corridors, deepening partnerships, and ensuring our value is felt by both agents and end customers, whether they’re receiving funds at a rural outlet or through a mobile wallet.

With a background in fintech leadership, most recently as Head of Sales at Payfast and previously as Senior Product Manager at BankservAfrica(now Payinc), l bring deep expertise in payments innovation, commercial execution, and ecosystem collaboration. I’ve worked across the full payments stack: from launching POS and PayShap to shaping pricing strategies and reactivating dormant partners.

What sets me apart is my ability to connect market vision with operational rhythm. I lead with data, coach with empathy, and execute with precision, always aiming to build businesses that grow sustainably and teams that thrive together.

If you’re in the remittance, fintech, mobile money, or financial services space, let’s connect. I’m always keen to explore meaningful partnerships that drive access, inclusion, and growth.
