CONNECTED BANKING SUMMIT
The Premier Global Banking Summit
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 the Connected Banking Summit, formerly named the Africa Digital Banking Summit Innovation & Excellence Awards.
The Connected Banking Series of conferences, events, summits, round tables and congress deliberates and focuses on developing solutions to, critical issues faced by banks and FIs in the African region. This Series is a not to be missed opportunity for experts, business people, and practitioners from the BFSI fraternity to discuss practical and cost-effective solutions to developing digital banking solutions.
The Connected Banking Series is an ideal platform for networking with industry players at the event, senior managers, decision-makers, and practitioners operating in the industry and making the most of banking technologies in various Connected Banking conferences.
