The rise of challenger banks in Africa.

9 th June 2022

Target Geography: Africa (French)

Event Overview

As the banking space and digital landscape continue to transform, challenger banks and neo-banks are well positioned to meet changing customer needs, being able to provide personalized and efficient banking services often at lower cost. The pandemic, along with the acceleration of technologies, has heightened the need for financial institutions to deliver exceptional performance of their banking services by moving away from purely traditional banking operations.

Challengers and neo-banks, as well as “disruptive” players in the industry, have the advantage of being able to launch savvy digital offers and serve specific markets with innovative services.

This does not mean the end of the road for large financial institutions. In fact, it offers banks the opportunity to use their vast resources and experience in the marketplace, as well as their experience serving a large and diverse customer base, to meet unique customer and industry demands while becoming more agile and competitive.

During this virtual roundtable, Temenos and some of our respected industry players will provide insight into the transformation of the African banking sector, how a digital approach is the future of banking and how they can adapt their offers to remain competitive.
