Stanbic IBTC Advocates Collaboration & Innovative Financing Solutions

Stanbic IBTC Bank, a subsidiary of Stanbic IBTC Holdings, has advocated effective collaboration among stakeholders and launching of innovative financing solutions as means of boosting the healthcare industry in Nigeria.

Speaking during the panel session at the recently held Medic West Africa Conference, Jane Ike-Okoli, Head, Specialised Sectors, Stanbic IBTC Bank noted that effective collaboration between the financial industry and healthcare organisations is key to advancing Nigeria’s health sector. She also mentioned that the sector is yearning for innovative financing solutions that will address the nuances associated with lending to healthcare businesses.

She said: “Nigeria is Africa’s largest healthcare market and despite this, we have inadequate healthcare infrastructure which gives rise to weakened health systems.”

“It is in response to this that Stanbic IBTC has decided to partner with key players in the healthcare sector to improve access to healthcare finance and provide robust yet flexible funding options for healthcare businesses and providers.”

“Our healthcare solutions are tailor-made for players in the sector who need working capital to expand healthcare operations, acquire medical equipment, facilitate medical research, and grow their healthcare businesses.

“One of such solutions is the recently launched Unsecured short-term loan with a 12-month tenor which is aimed at directly supporting providers with funds to improve their offerings and by extension, grow the healthcare sector in Nigeria,” she added.

Other panelists featured at the event include Dr. Folabi Ogunlesi, Managing Partner Vesta Healthcare; Dr. Idorenyin Oladiran, Medical Consultant, Human Resources, MTN Nigeria; Dr. Leke Oshunniyi, CEO, Health, and Managed Care Association of Nigeria (HMCAN) and Professor Akin Abayomi, Commissioner of Health, Lagos State.

Stanbic IBTC remains committed to the promotion and improvement of the healthcare sector in Nigeria through its various healthcare solutions.

Afro Nation Portugal Announces Dates for 2023

Afro Nation , the world’s biggest Afrobeats festival, announces dates for the flagship Portugal edition in 2023 today. Returning to the stunning Praia Da Rocha beach in the Algarve, Afro Nation Portugal will take place between 28-30th June 2023, with Early Access Tickets on sale now via AfroNation.com.

Alongside the news comes the release of the Afro Nation 2022 Official Aftermovie, which premiered last night on YouTube – watch here (https://bit.ly/3BOIiHE). The clip bring us back to the electrifying performances from an unrivalled raft of headliners Burna Boy, Wizkid, Davido, Chris Brown and Megan Thee Stallion, alongside legends P-Square, Beenie Man and the most exciting artists of the day like CKay, Popcaan, Shenseea, Omah Lay, Rema and Dadju on the enormous new main stage.

Coupled with the all new Piano People stage hosting the biggest Amapiano line up ever seen outside of South Africa, the grand return to Portugal this summer was a moment to remember, and shared by over 35,000 fans gathered together from around the world in a shared love of music, dancing, culture and positive vibes.

Speaking about the success of Portugal 2022 and the plans for next summer, the festival organisers said: “Afro Nation Portugal really felt like the culmination of everything we’ve been working towards, and managed to exceed everyone’s expectations yet again. We can’t wait to take everything up another level again in 2023 and bring everyone together on the beach for an unforgettable celebration of music and unity. See you all there!”

Before heading back to its European origins, Afro Nation will be rounding off a hugely successful 12 months in its true home of Ghana for New Year, with Davido, P-Square, Stonebwoy and more touching down in Accra between 28-29th December. 2022’s year of highlights saw the debut US show in Puerto Rico in March as well as the launch of the Official Billboard Afrobeats Chart, and the 1 year anniversary of the Official UK Afrobeats Chart on BBC Radio 1Xtra this week – all showing the movement is well and truly back on its feet and more than making up for lost time after two years away.

United the diaspora on sites of cultural significance across three continents, the Afrobeats explosion continues to grow with Afro Nation right at the heart of it all.

By the culture, for the culture: Afro Nation Portugal stands as an unmissable highlight of the summer festival and is announced to return between 28-30th June 2023. Early Access tickets are on-sale now for a limited time via AfroNation.com.

RCBC and GBG win two awards for AI and fraud prevention initiatives at the Asian Banking & Finance Retail Banking Awards 2022

SINGAPORE – Media OutReach – 27 September 2022 – Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) and its technology partner, GBG (AIM:GBG), the experts in digital location, identity verification and fraud software, have been awarded AI & Machine Learning Initiative of the Year – Philippines and Fraud Initiative of the Year – Philippines at the Asian Banking & Finance (ABF) Retail Banking Awards 2022. The ABF Retail Banking Awards is an annual event that honours exceptional banks and finance companies across Asia Pacific for their innovative retail products, services and strategies that have made a positive impact to clients and industries in the region.

Bernardi Susastyo, General Manager of Asia, GBG, said, “We are deeply honoured to be recognised for our work in AI & Machine Learning and Fraud Initiative in the Philippines at the ABF Awards. At GBG, we strive to continuously innovate and expand our fraud prevention capabilities to help customers like RCBC achieve the highest levels of security and compliance while building digital trust and minimising risk.

“We thank RCBC for their partnership and collaboration in building their enterprise financial crimes management systems. The impressive outcomes we have achieved together have been critical in preparing RCBC to effectively fight financial crime, and these ABF awards are a testament to our leadership and innovation in the sector.”

With 2022 looking to be a year of fine-tuning digital strategies, 71 per cent of technology decision-makers acknowledge that the pandemic has resulted in an acceleration of digital transformation efforts in their organisations. As more technologies are adopted in the era of Industry 4.0, it is even more crucial for financial institutions (FIs) to understand how to combat increased sophistication in fraud management. Machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI) will remain crucial in the fight against fraud and financial crimes like money laundering.

According to a GBG-commissioned study by IDC, Next Gen Financial Crime Management Solution, 48.9 per cent of banks and FIs consider unsupervised ML an important functionality, and 76.8 per cent indicate their preference for either buying a financial crime management solution or utilising managed services from a solutions provider.

With regulators urging institutions in the sector to digitally transform, improve their security profile, and safeguard their risk and compliance management capabilities, RCBC capitalised on the opportunity and deployed GBG’s robust Enterprise Risk Technology Management technology portfolio to integrate its risk capabilities and coordination efforts. RCBC’s main objective was to address fraud investigations efficiently through automation while improving customer experience across channels.

With GBG on board, RCBC was able to leverage the platform’s user-friendly web client interface and the latest technology and ML models to perform muti-channel monitoring of customer transactions to detect fraud and other complex financial crimes, as well as ensure anti-money laundering (AML) compliance on a single platform. By delivering these solutions on a single omnichannel platform for a more holistic fraud management strategy, RCBC was able to move from post transaction monitoring to real-time transaction monitoring and scale resources as financial crime typologies evolve.

“We partnered with GBG in transforming our fraud risk management system, which has resulted in enhanced capability in our real-time anti-money laundering monitoring capabilities,” said Nilo Zantua, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, RCBC. “Machine learning and AI continues to be an important feature as we rely on this form of analytics to predict what the new fraud types and campaigns could look like and proactively defend against them.

“This is especially important as traditional rules-based solutions are found to have false positive rates, significantly contributing to alert fatigue and an inefficient approach to resource management.”

Bernardi Susastyo, General Manager of Asia, GBG, said: “As a leader in this space, GBG aims to focus on fraud management systems that are equipped with deep expertise and insights into how fraud crimes are set to evolve and what types of solutions and innovations are best suited to defend against them. We are also highly in tune with the evolving regulatory standards that are coming into effect in different markets, enabling us to improve our systems to help customers remain compliant as legislation changes.

“At GBG, we continue to strive not only to serve as a reputable partner in helping banks and financial institutions at risk against fraudster and financial criminals, but also support them in delivering a high level of quality service and solution without compromising on security and customer confidence in their brand. Our goal is to collaborate with these organisations to improve their customer experience by fostering trust in the digital world, mitigating financial crime risks, and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements in our diverse and complex region.”

GBG currently serves more than 20,000 customers across 70 countries, including top tier banks and fintechs in the region.
