Cardtonic, a leading African fintech company, launches Upskill 4.0 to support Nigerian and Ghanaian tech and creative talent. This year’s edition of the Upskill program features MacBook grants and scholarship opportunities to help young talents thrive in the tech and creative industries.

For many, Cardtonic is a renowned provider of virtual dollar cards, gift cards, bill payments, eSIM services, and more. But beyond those innovative solutions that have made life easier for Africans, the company has consistently supported members of society.

One of those ways the fintech giant shows up for people is through the Upskill by Cardtonic program. In past editions of the program, Cardtonic has cumulatively given out 55 MacBooks. And now? It’s time to bet on more talents.
