M-Shwari scaled to 15 million users in 41 days. Fuliza became a verb. Now, Eric Muriuki is building Loop DFS into the Stripe of Africa.

In this episode of F-Squared, Samora Kariuki goes deep with one of Africa’s most experienced digital finance leaders. They unpack:

The legal architecture behind M-Pesa’s rise
What went wrong—and right—with M-Shwari’s launch
How Fuliza went from pitch to cultural phenomenon
Loop’s pivot from neobank to fintech infrastructure play
Why AI-first hiring might be the future
