82 speakers from different countries shared relevant insights in 32 keynote addresses, fireside chats and masterclasses. Here are some of the most important takeaways: “I don’t think that for us to scale as an industry, POS is the only solution – to withdraw cash apart from ATM, to transact, and do business. There are services we can put in the hands of merchants that are lower than the cost of POS.” – Aituaz Kola-Oladejo, ED, FSI
“Security is a big concern for fintechs and financial institutions, however, it is a shared responsibility. Therefore, fintechs and businesses need to deploy a security-first approach in developing any application or technology. Most of the attacks and breaches in recent times aren’t infrastructure related. Cloud providers can indeed secure the infrastructure and ensure there are firewalls but if there are vulnerabilities in the application, you can still be hacked.” – Stephen Okoye, CTO, inq.
