I think "receiving bank" can be removed here, given the paragraph talks about the challenge of moving money between a sending bank directly to a mobile money provider

@mkurapov my idea here was that the fundraising app did a direct integration with their bank (where they'd like to receive funds). Now the sender has a bank, that's fine because bank A can probably talk to bank B. But if the sender has a mobile money account or digital wallet we may have issues.

@JoblersTune makes sense, in that case, maybe we can just rename from "receiving" to "merchant" bank maybe (or "fundraisers" bank), and then "customer" bank? To remove any confusion from sending/receiving

"But it’s also advantageous for you because you don't need to share sensitive information with online applications"
This is just a thought I had (especially knowing the banking context in Canada/North America), but we could also mention that without any API standards, some third-party apps like budget trackers rely on web-scraping to actually connect your bank accounts, meaning they end up knowing your banking login details too.

"There are plans underway to create payment channels between Fybos and GateHub users in Europe."
I think not just Europe but all Gatehub to all Fynbos users. But they may start with Europe.

Since this is an OP intro I'm hesitant to sidetrack too much on making this a progress report and map of future developments.
We could try, "Chimoney and Fynbos digital wallets have also implemented Open Payments capabilities. Chimoney enables Open Payments transfers between Chimoney accounts, and Fynbos supports payments between Fynbos accounts. Fynbos is operational in America, Europe, and South Africa. However, Fynbos transactions are currently limited to wallets in the same region due to regulatory and technical constraints. Plans are underway to establish payment channels between Fynbos and GateHub users, beginning with Europe soon."

Should we move that to the top to be an actual TLDR?

What if we change the name to "Key Takeaways" instead.
My reluctance with moving it to the top is that I want to create a gentle path through the post that encourages an incremental introduction to the concepts. I worry it's kind off putting to put the summary at the top. People who are less technical might feel like this article is pitched over their heads. But by the time they reach the bottom they should understand all of this and it just re-captures the main points to give a simple summary of what OP is.
