🌟 Our 2025 Wrap Up | from our CEO
“2025 has been a defining year for FinMeUp. A year of growth, momentum, and important milestones that have reshaped the business and strengthened our foundations. Taking time to reflect on how far we’ve come, I’m incredibly proud of what the FinMeUp 2.0 team has achieved in such a short space of time.
We’ve grown our team, expanded our client base, strengthened key partnerships, and built a model designed for long-term, sustainable value. Each step forward has reinforced our belief in what we’re building and why we’re building it.
As we close out the year, I want to thank our team, investors, and clients for the trust, support, and belief you continue to place in us. 2025 was about building momentum. 2026 is about accelerating it.”
Travys Wilkins, CEO

🎯 Three Market Opportunities
1. South Africa’s Economy Is Showing Real Resilience
South Africa’s economy expanded for the fourth consecutive quarter, with growth supported by mining, agriculture and services. Business confidence and employment indicators are rising, signalling a turning point for investor and business sentiment.
The opportunity:
A stabilising economy creates space for diversified SA equity exposure. Improved earnings outlooks and stronger sentiment can support long term returns as conditions strengthen.
2. Payments and Fintech Transformation Is Accelerating
South Africa’s payments ecosystem is preparing for major regulatory reform. Proposed changes would allow non bank players to hold specific licences and participate directly in payments infrastructure. This would shift the industry toward open access and increased competition, after decades of bank led dominance.
The opportunity:
Fintech, digital wallets and open banking platforms are positioned to benefit as the landscape becomes more competitive. Consumers may see lower costs and more choice.
3. AI in Financial Services Moves Into Regulatory Focus
The FSCA and Prudential Authority have released early findings on the use of Artificial Intelligence in the South African financial sector. The report explores opportunities for innovation as well as risks relating to fairness, explainability and responsible deployment. This signals growing regulatory attention as AI becomes more widely used.
The opportunity:
AI enabled advice tools, compliance automation and smarter financial planning systems are set to grow. Early adopters who align with emerging regulatory standards may gain strong competitive advantage.
