During this event, we will hear about exciting trends in digital financial services— such innovative changes taking place across Africa as the continent leapfrogs into the digital economy.
According to Emmanuel Okoegwale, the Principal Associate at MobileMoneyAfrica, “Digital disruption is changing how traditional banking services, payments, remittances are now offered in the digital economy. Almost all sectors of financial services including payments, money transfers, banking and more are being re-imagined by non-traditional providers and fintechs, while the traditional incumbent providers are reinventing themselves very quickly to understand better the puzzle presented by the fintech and how they can leverage on the digital movement.”
The CashlessAfrica conference will not only highlight the challenges and opportunities in the Fintech space in Africa but will provide knowledge and networking platform that will bring the African Fintech industry at par with its counterparts across the globe.
