BlacVolta, Africa’s largest digital media and entertainment platform, officially launched its much-anticipated BlacVolta App and BlacVolta Visa Lifestyle Card during Day Two of the Africa FinTech Summit held at the Accra International Conference Centre.
The summit brought together over 2,000 global fintech professionals, investors, and innovators to explore the future of financial technology in Africa.
The BlacVolta App introduces a new frontier where entertainment meets fintech—connecting users to Ghana’s vibrant lifestyle, events, nightlife, and hospitality ecosystem in one seamless digital experience.
Complementing the app is the BlacVolta Visa Lifestyle Card, a premium lifestyle and payment solution powered by Visa, supported by First Atlantic Bank, and developed in partnership with Shrinq.
The card offers members exclusive benefits, including discounts at top venues, express entry, and curated experiences—redefining access and convenience across Africa’s entertainment scene.
Speaking at the launch, Joseph Adjei, Founder and CEO of BlacVolta, described the moment as a bold step for African ownership and innovation:
“This is more than a product launch—it’s a statement of intent.
We’re building a system that connects culture, creativity, and commerce while empowering Africans to take ownership of their lifestyle experiences.
The BlacVolta ecosystem makes payments and access seamless for both locals and the diaspora returning home this December.
Adding to this, Foster Akugri, Strategy and Commercialization Lead at BlacVolta, emphasized the company’s long-term vision: “Our mission goes beyond convenience.
We’re positioning BlacVolta as the infrastructure for Africa’s entertainment and creative economy—bridging fintech and culture to create real economic value for people and partners across the continent.”
The BlacVolta Visa Lifestyle Card and BlacVolta App are now available for users in Ghana, marking a significant milestone ahead of the “December in Ghana” festive season.
Together, they represent a new chapter for Africa’s entertainment ecosystem—powered by innovation, inclusion, and experience.
