As an integral enabler of #innovation and #interoperability within #Uganda's dynamic financial services landscape, we were delighted to support the Uganda Bankers' Association for one of the most topical events of the year on the industry circuit, the 2024 Annual Bankers' Conference in #Kampala🇺🇬 last week, in both sponsorship and thought-leadership capacities... The 7th Annual Bankers' Conference, proudly co-sponsored by Interswitch Group, brought together prominent stakeholders and thought-leaders across banking, fintech, professional services and the public-sector for insightful discourse around #ESG, Sustainability & Digital Transformation. Among other highlights, the conference featured Herbert Olowo, Regional Head for Information Technology & Operations at Interswitch East Africa, speaking on a panel themed around "𝙄𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 & 𝙏𝙚𝙘𝙝𝙣𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙮 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙀𝙎𝙂 𝙏𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙁𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙖𝙡 𝙎𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙄𝙣𝙙𝙪𝙨𝙩𝙧𝙮", alongside Frank Molla, Managing Director, Africa at MDP; Victor, Vusumuzi Ndlovu, Director/Business Development Lead for Mastercard East Africa; Elizabeth Mwerinde Kasedde, Executive Director for Public Sector & Social Investments at Equity Bank Uganda and Robert Busuulwa, Managing Partner at Forvis Mazars in Uganda.

Exactly a week ago, in #Nairobi🇰🇪, we hosted our 2nd #SubSaharanAfrica breakfast session, this time focused on the East Africa Region (following our successful engagement for West Africa in Lagos 3 days earlier), heralding the consolidation of Interswitch Group's pan-African partnership with ACI Worldwide, the global leader in real-time payments🤝🏽 Whilst Mobile Money & Banking in East Africa have achieved considerable interoperability within their respective sectors, there is still limited interoperability between the services of the two sectors, as well as from the cross-border transactions perspective, with implications for the growth of #FinancialInclusion, #ECommerce and #CrossBorderTrade in the region and across the continent📈 Leveraging our new and revolutionary #EnterprisePaymentsPlatform which ACI Worldwide and Interswitch Group are collaborating to introduce to the market, we're poised to support the modernization of payment infrastructure in key markets in the region, providing the required enablement for players across sectors of the payments #ecosystem to strengthen cross-platform and cross-border #interoperability of real-time digital payments... Here are some photo highlights from the highly impactful session in #Nairobi, convening a wide range of executives & stakeholders across banking, telco/mobile money, fintech, ecommerce and regulatory frontiers to engage on these key imperatives, and to unpack our #technology and #expertise in this regard 🚀 We share more about what these developments portend for digital payments in East Africa here https://lnkd.in/gr8Z4N-7 Watch this space! 🔭 #InterswitchXACIWorldwide🤝🏽 #EnterprisePaymentsPlatform💻 #RealTimePayments💳 #NeverS20P⏩ #DrivingPaymentInnovation📈
