Finnovex 2023 - West Africa | Exibex | 25 October 2023 | Eko Hotels & Suites, Plot 1415 Adetokunbo Ademola Street, Victoria Island 106104, Lagos, Nigeria

This event is one of the biggest start-up sectors across countries like Nigeria and Ghana in West Africa. These companies in West Africa are driving real change for consumers as well as businesses. Over the years, banking in West Africa has improved, however there are still numerous gaps to be filled and a significant portion of the population is still unbanked. This has created an opening that fintechs have been quick to take advantage of, with many stepping up to develop enhanced propositions across the value chain to address pain points in affordable payments, quick loans, and flexible savings and investments, mobile banking, tech development in agency banking, data management, advanced analytics, digital and new delivery platforms.
