Bradley Sacks on building fintech infrastructure and thriving in uncertainty

In this episode of What’s Next, Aki Anastasiou sits down with Bradley Sacks, CEO of Araxi, to unpack his remarkable journey from South Africa to the global financial stage. With decades of experience spanning law, investment banking, and technology, Sacks shares the formative lessons that shaped his career, the value of hard work and mentorship, and how his early exposure to business influenced his path. He also reflects on the creation of Capital Appreciation — South Africa’s first SPAC — and its evolution into Araxi, a technology-driven business focused on enabling financial services at scale. The conversation dives into Araxi’s strategy of building a resilient, enterprise-focused fintech ecosystem, including major acquisitions like African Resonance, Synthesis, and Pay@. Sacks explains how Araxi operates behind the scenes to power everyday transactions, from retail payments to banking apps, and highlights exciting innovations like tap-to-pay solutions for small businesses. He also shares insights on global expansion, the impact of rapid technological change, and why adaptability is key in today’s uncertain world. This is a compelling look at how infrastructure, not just apps, is shaping the future of financial services.
