This article addresses the critical "harvest now, decrypt later" threat facing Africa's massive mobile money ecosystem and outlines a coordinated regional strategy for post-quantum cryptography migration. It highlights key industry figures discussing practical implementation challenges rather than theoretical breakthroughs in quantum hardware or algorithms. The focus remains squarely on securing digital infrastructure against future quantum capabilities, making it central to the AI/ML security landscape.

More than two trillion dollars moved through mobile money worldwide in 2025, and roughly two-thirds of that value flowed through sub-Saharan Africa, according to GSMA’s State of the Industry Report on Mobile Money 2026. For a fifth of adults in the region, a mobile money account is the only financial account they will ever hold. Behind every transfer sits ordinary public-key cryptography, the same RSA and elliptic-curve math that a sufficiently powerful quantum computer would eventually break. That threat hasn’t arrived yet, but data doesn’t need it to arrive today…
