In a world where digital technology has created seemingly endless new financial payment possibilities, strategy matters more than ever. Successful brands don’t just adopt new technologies, they enlist these technologies in the service of a clearly defined strategy that helps them to identify the opportunities that really matter.

The digitization of commerce continues to be the biggest innovation in payments, accelerating the shift from traditional to digital platforms. How consumers choose to bank is changing and the wave of disruption is fundamentally changing the financial services landscape.  This move is creating new business models, transforming user expectations and behaviours.

Kantar TNS is hosting a Fintech Summit in Lagos, “Payments of tomorrow and the changing consumer”.  The summit focuses on the challenges and opportunities digitalization presents in the FinTech Industry and helps identify how to win in today’s market place.

Key note speakers at the summit include Adebisi Shonubi, Managing Director, Nigeria Inter-bank Settlement System PLC and Jonathan Chocqueel-Mangan, Chief Strategy & Transformation Officer, Kantar, and a member of Kantar’s Global Board.

The line-up also includes a panel discussion on Micropayment and Opportunity for Mobile in Nigeria.  Panellists include Akeem Lawal, Divisional CEO, Interswitch Group, Deji Oguntonade, Head FinTech and Innovation, Guaranty Trust Bank, Lara Ajele, Head of Payment, Jumia Africa, Niyi Ajao, Executive Director, Business Development, NIBSS, Olubayo Adekanmbi, Chief Transformation Officer, MTN Nigeria and Victor Okigbo, Project Director, Africa FinTech Foundry.
