Geared towards bringing together the finest and most innovative subject matter and experts who are at the forefront of digital innovation both locally and on the global stage, the FirstBank FinTech Summit no doubt has become a tradition since its inception in 2016.
The FirstBank Fintech Summit had been a physical event, with attendance of about 1,000 participants, up until last year, when it was hosted online due to the COVID-19 pandemic and in line with the guidelines for managing the situation.
‘’The theme for this year’s event Open Banking & its Derivative Opportunities for the Financial Ecosystem according its organizers has been selected against the backdrop of the increasingly prominent role open data, artificial intelligence and cloud-based technologies play not just in the broader tech-space, but ass well in the financial services and financial technology landscapes.’’
This year’s edition of the Summitt will be the fifth in the series, having skipped the event in 2017, and will also be hosted as online via Zoom, to allow people from all over the world participate and as well access the same quality of discussants and speakers as was the case last year.
The increasingly pervasive intersection of these variables in various aspects of human enterprise represents a powerful force for the creation of new ventures via a new gateway that will promote unlimited value creation or innovation.
‘’As a bank, we are of the view that Open Banking is representative of such an intersection, setting its roots down in the financial-services space but embodying the transformative potential capable of redefining customer satisfaction across the entire landscape of the financial ecosystem. This shall form the pivot of the conversations around the Summit this year. ‘’
The Summit has been scheduled to hold on Thursday, 7 October 2021 at 10:00am on Zoom and will also be Streamed on YouTube. Interested participants wishing to attend the event can click on the image below to register;
