StanChart’s inaugural Digital Banking, Innovation and Fintech Festival comes on on Nov. 3

Standard Chartered is organizing a Digital Banking, Innovation and Fintech Festival on November 3 and 4 at the Kempinski Hotel in Accra.

The Digital Banking, Innovation and Fintech Festival will be under the theme ‘Shaping the next phase of Ghana’s Financial Technology Landscape for the 21st Century.’

This high-level event will bring together local and international players in the Fintech ecosystem, seasoned experts, and practicing Fintech innovators to engage and share insights on adopting, leveraging, and scaling digitization, innovation, and technology within the financial sector.

The Vice President of Ghana, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, will give a keynote address on the opening day.

He will outline the government’s plan to continue setting Ghana apart as the true digital hub of Africa with a robust digitized financial technology ecosystem.

This event is part of Standard Chartered’s activities to mark its 125th-anniversary celebrations in Ghana. It will be used to showcase Ghana’s digital infrastructure and the great strides the country has made in its national digitalization journey.

Other notable leaders of the industry attend including; Ken Ofori-Atta, Minister of Finance; Ursula Owusu Ekuful, Communications Minister; Dr Ernest Addison, Governor of the Bank of Ghana; Sunil Kaushal, CEO, Africa & Middle East of Standard Chartered PLC; Alex Manson, member of SC Ventures and many more.

There will also be a great lineup of insightful panel sessions planned over the two days.

Standard Chartered Bank said “The sessions will explore the impact and opportunities of the increasingly robust and digitized financial ecosystem and the lessons we can learn from Ghana’s digitization journey so far.”

“Participants will also discuss how financial sustainability, innovation and technology can maximise participation in addition to how to best leverage digital banking, tokenization and trust corridors to lift African trade flow”

The Digital Banking, Innovation and Fintech Festival is being organized in collaboration with the Central Bank of Ghana (BoG), SC Ventures and Enterprise Singapore.
