The Nigerian Financial Services Industry today is undergoing a radical transformation for the better, aligning with global best practices, particularly in the area of payment systems and delivery. The evidence is obvious - new products, new players and new channels. While some industry watchers believe that Nigeria is not ready for a cashless economy due to poor infrastructure and a number of risk
s associated with it, others argue that the country has gathered sufficient momentum to leverage on all forms of electronic payments to promote greater financial inclusion and facilitate Nigeria's transformation from a cash-based to a cashless economy. According to the E-payment Providers Association of Nigeria, the Nigerian e-payment industry, has an estimated card payment industry worth over N23.4 Trillion(www.e-ppan.org). There is therefore no better time than now, to dialogue on how the Nigerian payments industry could be positioned for global competitiveness, hence the theme of this year’s Conference. OBJECTIVE
The 8™ Banking and Finance Conference is designed to provide a platform for policy makers, key regulators and operators in the financial services industry to share experiences and exchange ideas on contemporary relevant issues affecting the financial services industry. THE VENUE
Congress Hall, Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja Date; September 23 - 24, 2014
