Commenting, Managing Director, Ecobank Nigeria, Bolaji Lawal said \u201cthe Fintech Breakfast series is conceived by Ecobank to provide a platform for banks and Fintech to explore areas of mutual interests and opportunities with a view to building a stronger ecosystem.\u00a0More collaboration is needed between Fintech and banks. We need to strike a balance. Many believe banks and Fintech are competitors. That is not true. This seminar will focus on\u00a0how Fintech firms can find and nurture partnerships with banks, and how they can leverage these partnerships to grow and expand across the continent. It provides the opportunity for Fintech founders and executives to say what they are looking for from banks. It will also\u00a0deepen skills for businesses and grow knowledge of the financial services industry.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0Mr. Lawal called on operators of Fintechs and industry players to make deliberate effort to be part of the seminar, stating that the outcome would impact on their operations, performance and service delivery.<\/p>

Ecobank Group, the parent body of Ecobank Nigeria, is widely acclaimed for its Open Banking strategy and for nurturing Fintech as partners. The Group runs several initiatives to foster Fintech development across Africa, including its flagship annual Fintech Challenge, which hundreds of Fintech firms globally have participated in.
