Mobile Payments and Fintech: Integration, Development and Oversight

September 12 – 15

 

Live Content sessions held: 9am–1pm (EDT) | 2pm–6pm (BST) | 9pm–1am (SGT) 

Chair: Stephen Mwaura, chairman, Fintech Institute & former head of national payments systems, Central Bank of Kenya

As digital innovation takes the world by storm along with the impact of a global pandemic, consumers are calling for faster and more efficient payments. In 2022, mobile payments services have been expanding and are increasing their stake in the payments industry. Every day, mobile payments are continuing to rapidly grow and improve the convenience to their customers. However, as central banks are responsible for overseeing the payment system, they are increasingly aware of the need to find the right balance between encouraging innovation and consumer protection and the pressure has never been greater led by Covid-19 developments.

This course is designed to equip central bankers to meet these challenges. Each day will feature three hours of expert-led Live Content to maximise the opportunity to share and learn. The chair will ensure participants have opportunities to network throughout the course, with time set aside for a workshop on implementing key learnings.
