About Access to Finance Rwanda:

Access to Finance Rwanda (AFR) is a Rwandan not for profit company established in 2010 to promote financial inclusion and financial sector development. AFR is currently funded by Sweden, Jersey Overseas Aid, and the MasterCard Foundation.

AFR is part of the broader Financial Sector Deepening (FSD) network in Africa that seeks to create a transformative impact on ending poverty by supporting efforts to improve financial inclusion and financial sector development through helping policy makers, regulators, financial service providers and markets drive a more inclusive and sustainable economic growth.

AFR supports the removal of systemic barriers that hinder access to and use of financial services by low-income people, particularly the rural poor, women, youth and MSMEs, and supports the development and provision of financial services including savings, credit, insurance, investment, payments, and remittances.

AFR is guided by the Market System Development (MSD) approach recognising that efforts to increase financial inclusion and financial sector development must be market-led, profitable and sustainable. For more details visit our website: (www.afr.rw).  

Access to Finance Rwanda seeks a RNDPS Interoperability Lead for its upcoming project ““Supporting the implementation of the Rwanda National Digital Payment System (RNDPS)”.

1. About The project RNDPS 

The National Payment System Framework and Strategy, whose key objectives are to promote economic growth, a cashless economy, financial inclusion, an enabling environment for innovation and a robust payment system identified the need for a fully interoperable payment system. Such a system would support innovative implementation of affordable and user-friendly services that allow for seamless flow of funds between different customer accounts.

The Rwandan financial sector has made important progress towards interoperability with the development of the Rwanda National Digital Payment System (RNDPS). Implementation of the RNDPS has been guided by the Business Plan for the Rwanda National Digital Payment System (“RNDPS Blueprint”), which was developed with AFR support and agreed to by Rwanda’s financial sector in 2018. After finalizing the blueprint, the industry nominated RSwitch not only as the scheme operator, but also as the scheme manager.

The RNDPS is now at a critical stage of implementation with the launch of the first use case – P2P (Person to Person) transfers closed, and structuring as a public private partnership / public utility. The proposed Phase II of RNDPS implementation focuses on bolstering the scheme in its early stages to ensure the successful scale-up of the P2P use case and roll-out of new use cases including, P2G (Person to Government), P2B (Person to Business), B2P (Business to Person), B2B (Business to Business) and CICO (Cash In Cash Out).

Interoperability is a key supporting function for an efficient and inclusive digital financial system. As an open-loop system, the RNDPS will be accessible to any licensed and approved financial services provider. Despite all the progress that has been made, interoperability in Rwanda is yet to be fully implemented.

 The Role and Scope of Responsibilities 

The RNDPS Interoperability Lead will be responsible for interoperability technical advisory, project coordination, day-to-day responsibilities for the RNDPS project implementation as well as the Strategic Management.

1. Person to Person (sending money and request to pay)
2. Person to Government (collections)
3. Person to Business (merchant payments)
4. Bulk disbursements (B2P)
5. Business to Business payments (B2B)
6. Cash-in and Cash-out at off-us agents

Reporting line: The position reports to both RSwitch CEO and AFR DFS & Market Infrastructure Pillar Head.
