Nuvion, the AI-powered global bank for businesses and platforms, has partnered with EbonyLife Place London, the new UK home for African and Black film, culture and creativity. The announcement coincides with the venue’s official opening in Nine Elms.
EbonyLife Place London is a first-of-its-kind destination, home to the UK’s only cinema dedicated exclusively to African and Black film. Art, fashion, retail, music and cultural experiences share the same roof, giving African storytelling and creativity a permanent base in the capital. The venue opened with the support of Mayor of London Sadiq Khan and will host Film Africa screenings from 26 to 30 October.
As Official UK Banking Partner, Nuvion will help connect Africa’s growing creative economy with the financial infrastructure it needs to operate internationally. Its global accounts, cross-border payment and payout capabilities, and fiat and stablecoin rails let businesses working across markets receive payments, pay partners and manage funds in multiple currencies from a single platform.
“Africa’s creative economy is increasingly global, but the people and businesses powering it still face barriers when operating across markets,” said Keisha Clark, Managing Director, Nuvion. “Our partnership with EbonyLife Place London is about backing that ambition with the financial infrastructure businesses need to operate, get paid and grow globally.”
Mo Abudu, Founder and CEO of EbonyLife Group, added: “EbonyLife Place London is about creating a new home for African and Black culture in London, bringing together food, fashion, art, music and, of course, film under one roof. It also demonstrates the extraordinary soft power of our culture to the world, and our invitation is open to all.
“We are delighted to partner with Nuvion, creating opportunities to connect the founders, creators and businesses behind our stories with the tools and networks that can support their ambitions globally.”
The collaboration will continue beyond the opening, with Nuvion and EbonyLife Place London planning cultural and business-focused programming and activations over the coming year.
