Mumbai-based News Startup Chosen Connected Banking Summit's Media Partner

With the theme Accelerating Digital Inclusion and Sustainable Transformation, the summit will bring together a diverse group of global executives, experts, and leaders to deliberate on creating future-focused banking models, according to Mohammed Thoufiq, Vice President Strategic Partnership at International Center for Strategic Alliances.

Looking at the business and financial news coverage of Business News Connect and its editor B N Kumar's four-decade long media experience, we decided rope in the website, said Thoufiq.

The focus of the conference is to drive digital transformation and enhance customer experience in accordance with relevant policies and regulations, while maintaining the highest standards of privacy and security, he said.

"We see this as a huge honour and opportunity from the International Center for Strategic Alliances (ICSA) which is organising the summit," said Kumar. "We are sure that the content to be generated by the summit proceedings will be of immense use for the BFSI sector as a whole and BizNewsConnect readers in particular," Kumar said.

The experts will come together to discuss the impact of integrated solutions on the future of banking and the influence of cutting-edge technologies like AI, ML, deep learning, cognitive computing, and digital assets on the financial services ecosystem.

In addition to expert insights, the conference provides opportunities for networking with industry players, including senior managers, decision-makers, and practitioners. The Connected Banking Summit is a platform for discovering practical and cost-effective solutions for developing digital banking solutions, and is an ideal environment for making the most of banking technologies.

Africa has been in the forefront of fintech and the Connected Banking Summit will offer several learnings for the sector, Kumar said and added, "We are in good company."

The Connected Banking Summit and Awards event in Southern Africa is a must-attend gathering for professionals from the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) sector. The summit will host leaders and experts from various organizations, including banks, insurance companies, fintechs, digital and neobanks, non-banking financial organizations, cooperatives, investment funds, and asset management companies, said Thoufiq.
