Africa’s fintech revolution is no longer emerging, it is defining the future of global finance, and Nigeria stands at its epicentre. With over $1.2–1.5 billion in annual fintech revenues, 250+ active fintech companies, and accounting for nearly 40% of Africa’s total fintech funding, Nigeria has evolved into the continent’s most dynamic and investable fintech ecosystem. Powerhouses like Flutterwave, Paystack, and Moniepoint are not just scaling locally, they are shaping global narratives around digital payments, financial inclusion, and embedded finance. Against this backdrop, the 9th Africa Fintech Forum arrives in Lagos at a defining moment. As Nigeria accelerates toward a $2 billion fintech market by 2027, driven by AI-powered financial services, cross-border payments under AfCFTA, and rapid digital banking adoption, this exclusive, invite-only leadership forum will convene the most influential decision-makers across banking, fintech, regulation, investment, and technology. Hosted in the nation’s capital, with strong alignment with the regulators, the forum is designed as a closed-door, high-impact platform where strategies are shaped, partnerships are forged, and the future of African finance is decided.
