About the conference

Africa is home to the second-largest banking market in the world in terms of growth and profitability Digital transformation of the BFSI sector is no longer an attractive option, it is imperative for banks to survive.

Digital services are helping to fill the huge gaps in financial inclusion by providing access where it is most needed. Most banks will benefit from higher customer numbers in the longer term as they are actively investing in the architecture for the digital transformation now.

Banking on the success of our previous Editions of the Digital Banking Summit, we at ICSA are proud to present Connected Banking, formerly named the Africa Digital Banking Summit.

The Connected Banking Series deliberates and focuses on developing solutions to, critical issues faced by banks and FIs on the East Africa region. This Series is a not to be missed opportunity for experts, business people, and practitioners form the BFSI fraternity to discuss practical and cost-effective solutions to developing digital banking solutions.

About the conference

The banking sector in East Africa is progressing towards becoming a 'marketplace without boundaries'. This by the impending entry of new digital players who are challenging the status quo and driving unparalleled levels of innovation.

Technology is fast becoming a central factor in the banking and financial services industry generating new opportunities and contributing to the region’s financial sector. Financial institutions in the last decade have witnessed dramatic changes owing to rising competition, growing customer expectations, innovative compliance regulations, and more. The last year has also witnessed a drastic acceleration and shift to a cashless digital economy, with extraordinary growth in the number of e-payment transactions.

Banking, customer onboarding, engagement and retention, digital payments, and digital lending services greatly boosted the economic cogs forward. The banking and finance sector has been growing even in the face of turbulence and uncertainties, this based on the tenets of digital transformation, innovation, diversity, cooperation and sustainability.
