Mariana: Thank you so much. Thank you.

Interviewer: What’s your name?

Mariana: My name is Marye.

Interviewer: And you?

Steven: I’m Steven.

Interviewer: Steven. So tell me about yourselves. Who are you?

Steven: So, Steven from Points Africa. I’m the VP for Marketing and Customer Experience.

Interviewer: Oh great. Points Africa. One of our great sponsors tonight and we’re saying thank you for that great sponsorship. And you?

Mariana: My name is Marye Mensah and I work as a Creative Communications Specialist for Points Africa.

Interviewer: Points Africa right here. Thank you so much. So tonight, how has it been? What inspired the sponsorship for Ghana Fintech Awards 2026 and have you been a previous sponsor before?

Mariana: No, this is our first time and we believe that the fintech space is what is driving the world now and it is always good to join a good movement.

Interviewer: I love that you don’t want to be left behind.

Mariana: Definitely, that is very important.

Interviewer: And so, how has the ambiance been so far?

Steven: I mean great. Great ambiance, great lovely people around and we are also getting connected to other partners and I really love this particular event.

Interviewer: Great. So when we talk about cyber security in the fintech system in Ghana, what has been some of the challenges for you and what is your company doing about it?

Steven: Yeah, normally security is all about data and as a fintech we are very concerned about data. We are also running on AWS. Customers are concerned about how people may get into their information and with our platform that security is assured. Also looking at the partners we’re working with like Glyco, Star Oil, Melcom and the other brands, the assurance and the trust that we are genuine is also there.

Interviewer: Great. Thank you so much. What do you have for us tonight?

Mariana: I guess I would say that we are a new loyalty company here in Ghana and we are rewarding everyday spending. So what you do every day—you buy groceries, you get your insurance, you go to Star, you buy fuel—and you get points from that. We give you the points and then you can use those points to get whatever you want across our network of partners. As he mentioned, the top brands. So that is what we’re bringing and we’re offering to Ghana and we really hope that it is something that they love. They love rewards and getting things back from their everyday shopping. So that’s what we came here to do.

Interviewer: Definitely. Definitely. Ghanaians love rewards. Free—any free thing we are in. I’m even in. So for those that are watching and may not have heard about your company and would want to be part of this rewards and what you are doing, how should they go about it?

Mariana: Well, first would be to download our app, get used to the interface, searching all the brands that you can earn and redeem at. You just shop like you normally do, you earn points, nothing different. It’s very easy, very simple. And follow us on social media to get updates about our new partners.

Interviewer: Can you mention one of your social media handles? That’s a free ad for you for being our sponsor.

Mariana: All our social media handles are Points Africa at @PointsAfrica.

Interviewer: Thank you so much for being with us tonight. We wish you the very best inside there. Please, we want more rewards. When I’m done, I’ll come for my rewards.

Steven: Sure.

Interviewer: Have a great evening.

Steven & Mariana: Yes.Interviewer: I’m loving the conversation.
