Event

Now entering its seventh year as the region’s leading banking forum, AITEC Banking & Mobile Money Accra, 2016 will address the key issues faced by the region’s increasingly dynamic financial services sector.

African banks have a great challenge in overcoming their heritage of colonial banking systems, which were designed to serve
government, corporates and high-worth individuals. The bottom part of the pyramid has been badly neglected, and only recently have commercial banks started addressing this market segment as mobile operators set the pace in providing low-cost banking services. The AITEC Banking & Mobile Money Conference Series plays a valuable role in challenging banks to embark on innovative financial inclusion strategies, through technological innovation, and through the development of a customer-oriented corporate culture and service innovation.

Who is the conference aimed at?

• ICT managers & professionals in the banking and financial services sector
