Digital Ethiopia - Finance

"Digital Transformation in the Banking Industry What does collaborative banking look like? What is the outlook for Fintech in Ethiopia?" Ethiopia has one of the highest unbanked rates of the world, with some 65% of population still unbanked. While innovations like mobile-based financial tools promise dramatically lowered costs of delivering financial services and transaction costs, credit and financial flows still move at a slow pace. There is a gap between the financial services offered and those wanted by the majority of the population as only about 300K of the 35 Million plus account holders at banks have ever had a loan portfolio. Digitalization can create new services and products that people need to better manage their assets. There are a number of mega trends in digital finance, from fin-tech to insure-tech to mobile-platform based payment systems. The shift in the way we interact with information and devices, the methods we use to search, spot and analyze data, and the means we use to respond to disruptions in value chains is part of the mega-trends. Participants from different areas of expertise in the sector will discuss and explore solutions such as branchless/digital banking, mobile microfinance, instant financial transactions, payment technologies, infrastructure pre-requisites, regulatory imperatives, and digital insurance products among other areas of banking in the 21st century. This panel is intended to showcase the potential and opportunities in the Digital Financial services space in Ethiopia, and invite participants to reflect on the strategies and tools that can enable the country to positively transform its financial services sector using technology.
