#8 Trademark Wars Between Paystack’s Zap and Zap Africa

In this episode of the Tech Tides Africa podcast, Kelvin and Karen discuss MTN and Airtel’s new network-sharing agreement in Nigeria and Uganda, which aims to cut costs. 

They also cover Paystack’s launch of Zap, a new bank transfer app, and the legal battle that followed as Paystack issued a cease-and-desist notice to Zap Africa over a trademark dispute. 

Additionally, they discuss AltSchool’s upcoming hybrid learning program, Verve’s global expansion with Temu as it challenges Jumia’s dominance, and how UBA’s record-breaking profit is clouded by rising fraud losses.
