Future of banking falls into focus in Vic Falls

Regional payment card industry giant EFT Corporation (EFTCorp) will explore the dynamics of the digital banking landscape in Africa during its forthcoming “Banking on the Future” conference to be held in Victoria Falls next week.

The regional event will see banks and other financial institutions descending on the resort town for the three-day conference.

The conference comes after the World Economic Forum in 2023 called Africa the world leader in digital and mobile banking, as there is no doubt that banking in Africa has undergone significant changes in the last few years and will continue to change and grow in the coming years.

EFTCorp’s conference, scheduled from May 13 to 15, 2024, will bring together C-suite executives, who are personnel that run organisations from more than 70 of Africa’s premier banks to address key issues on the future of banking on the continent.

Stephen Enderby, the chief executive (CEO) of EFTCorp, says the event will help shape the future of digital banking across Africa.

“We believe this conference will provide extraordinary opportunities not only for our current clients but to anyone interested in the digital banking sphere in Africa now and into the future.

“To truly make it an event to remember, attendees will be able to take advantage of everything on offer in a relaxed and luxurious setting, creating the perfect atmosphere to network and find creative ways to move forward in this space,” Mr Enderby added.

With its headquarters in Mauritius and regional offices in Ghana, Kenya, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Zambia, EFTCorp is uniquely positioned to navigate Africa’s dynamic market landscape to provide its current and future customers with opportunities to do so.

The Banking on the Future conference will host several industry leaders in one space, with opportunities for attendees to network and see how they can make the best of the vast digital opportunities in Africa while contributing to the continent’s emerging markets.

A range of critical topics shaping the digital banking landscape in Africa will also be discussed at the conference as it will also delve into the growing financial technology (fintech ecosystem and the ongoing digital transformation sweeping the continent, exploring its impact on financial services.

EFTCorp chief commercial officer, Carlin Wicomb believes the company is committed to driving digital transformation for each of its valued customers, and this event is just one of the ways it is doing so.

“EFTCorp is Africa’s foremost PCI-compliant payment solutions provider, delivering unparalleled payment architectures, solutions as well as expert consultancy and service, backed by strategic partnerships and industry-leading resources,” he added.

According to Mr Enderby, this event will not only allow EFTCorp to share their expertise with all attendees but also ensure they can offer even better-tailored strategies that empower their customers’ journeys towards digital transformation.-herald
