How can fintech entrepreneurs develop useful solutions in an environment that involves banks, mobile money operators, public institutions and partners? This question guided the second edition of Palabres Fintech.
Entrepreneurship at the centre of the discussions
The 2024 edition focused on conditions that support fintech businesses: stakeholder dialogue, a better understanding of the framework and partnerships connecting innovation with existing financial networks.
Four perspectives on the ecosystem
The programme organised the discussion around the perspectives of public institutions and regulators; DFA’s role as an interface for the industry; banking partnerships; and mobile money partnerships.
Banks and mobile money as points of connection
Discussions considered how infrastructure, services and relationships with users could support new collaborations. Interoperability, technical interfaces and access to services were among the issues explored.
What this edition contributes to the discussion
Fintech development depends on relationships as well as technology. Formalisation, trust and partnerships are essential conditions for turning innovation into useful services.
