To provide a common platform for the burgeoning African FSI community, Tradepass is hosting the 9th edition World Financial Innovation Series (WFIS) at The Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi, Kenya on 19 – 20 July 2022. The summit will attract 1500+ technology and business heads (in-person & virtual) from 200+ leading Banks, Insurance & Micro-Finance institutions across Africa.

🎯 OVERVIEW

The fintech behemoths are eyeing Africa’s massive digitally savvy young population to be their key driver for growth. Over 50% of Africa’s population that’s unbanked (World Bank Data) is further providing an edge to fintech. Rampant smartphone and internet penetration couldn’t have come at a better time and it’s projected that Africa will house 1 billion SIM connections by 2025. Further, for becoming future-ready, 80% of African banks are seeing the fintech organizations as potential partners.

➤ WHY AFRICA

With Africans favoring digital financial services, the continent’s fintech industry is soaring on cloud-nine. Smartphone addiction and deep internet penetration are enabling the technology providers to establish financial inclusion in Africa. The boom in mobile telecoms is going to power over a billion SIM connections by 2025 which will further drive fintech’s growth. It’s no surprise that the situation is fostering an environment for partnerships or probable M&As between the major banks and the technology providers.

Considering the pressing need of the hour, 48% of the African banks are transitioning towards becoming digital-first. Without a shadow of a doubt, it’s quite evident that digital banking and fintech services are surely establishing financial inclusion in Africa thereby providing the region’s massive underprivileged and unbanked population an equal opportunity with wealth management.
