The World Savings and Retail Banking Institute (WSBI) has today convened the 23rd Africa Regional Group meeting aimed at discussing digitization of financial institutions. The two day event that is taking place at the Kampala Serena Hotel has been organized in partnership with Centenary Bank, Post Bank, Finance Trust Bank, Pride Microfinance and Ugafode. Under the theme ‘Effective leadership in a digitally changing world’, the forum will see bankers discuss the latest technological and financial trends influencing savings in the country.
Discussions will be centered around effective leadership, fraud and digital banking, technology regulation of financial related activities, financial inclusion, innovation and technology, financial education and rural finance to mention but a few.
Addressing journalists this morning, Stephen Mukweli, the CEO Post Bank Uganda said, “Digital and innovative technologies will play an essential role in enabling WSBI members to keep pace with competition and changing market requirements and expand their services to the unbanked population. This will bring the mass market into the formal financial system.
