This campaign will involve coordinating industry events, and policymaker meetings, managing media relations, and fostering strategic thought leadership and content creation.
DKK Partners, a FinTech leader specializing in emerging markets (EM) and foreign exchange (FX) liquidity, has appointed Centropy PR. This decision comes as the company experiences rapid expansion, with its annual revenues surpassing £100 million.
Founded in 2020 by banking industry veterans Dominic Duru and Khalid Talukder, DKK Partners has quickly become a noteworthy player in providing high-quality FX payment services to SMEs in emerging markets across Africa and the Middle East.
The company’s remarkable revenue growth is attributed to its innovative approach, blending advanced trading technology with on-the-ground market intelligence to address significant customer challenges.
Duru and Talukder, with their rich backgrounds at prestigious banks like RBS, UBS, Citi, and Deutsche Bank, are not just business leaders but also active voices in policy discussions. Their regular appearances in the UK Parliament to discuss issues such as the FinTech bubble alongside policymakers, MPs, and industry leaders, highlight their commitment to shaping the industry.

DKK Partners hired Clifford Mettle to lead CONSUMAF-regulated operations in West Africa
The EM FX liquidity solutions provider has recently fortified its leadership by appointing Clifford Mettle as Executive Chairman of its Ghana division. This came on the heels of the CONSUMAF license which DKK Partners secured as part of its expansion strategy in West Africa.
This license, issued by COSUMAF (the supervisory and control authority for the Central African Economic and Monetary Community financial market), paves the way for DKK Partners to further enhance its financial services operations in Africa.
Africa has become a focal point for global businesses seeking growth opportunities, and DKK Partners is no exception. By obtaining the CONSUMAF license, the company is positioning itself to navigate future regulatory and licensing changes in the Central West Africa region effectively.
This development followed DKK Partners’ recent establishment of operations in Ghana, complementing its existing presence in Cameroon. This strategic expansion aims to serve as a central hub for the burgeoning African market by offering essential FX and financial services, including virtual IBAN accounts. These services empower customers to access new territories and currencies, while also bolstering emerging market (EM) liquidity.
