The Managing Director of Payment Processing & Switching at Interswitch Purepay, Mr Akeem Lawal, has said the company will always throw its full weight behind conversations aimed at improving the payments industry.
Mr Lawal said this ahead of the 2023 annual conference of the Committee of e-Business Industry Heads (CeBIH) scheduled to take place from Tuesday, December 5, 2023, to Wednesday, December 6, 2023, in Lagos.
He is one of the speakers slated to attend the event with the Managing Director of Verve International, Vincent Ogbunude; and the Managing Director of Digital Infrastructure and Managed Services at Interswitch Systegra, Jonah Adams; among others.
Interswitch, one of Africa’s leading integrated payments and digital commerce companies, is the premium sponsor of the programme, which serves as a vital platform for stakeholders to address critical issues, discuss trends, and provide insights to propel the growth of the payment ecosystem.
This year’s conference, themed Driving Market Expansion through Ecosystem Collaboration, underscores the importance of financial players leveraging collaboration to propel the growth of the payment landscape.
Interswitch said its sponsorship of the event further highlights its commitment to enhancing collaboration, fostering innovation, and driving the digital evolution of the e-business industry in Africa.
It noted this reinforces its dedication to advancing the growth, efficiency, and sustainability of the e-business sector, ultimately contributing to the broader economic development of Africa.
Since 2016, Interswitch has been a major sponsor of the CeBIH conference, underscoring the firm’s dedication to promoting growth and sustainability within the e-business sector.
“Interswitch is constantly seeking opportunities and platforms that drive conversations around the growth of the payment ecosystem, and one of those touchpoints is the CeBIH conference.
“We are committed to supporting and participating in platforms that share our vision to drive financial inclusion and prosperity across Africa,” Mr Lawal said.
