Payments Forum Nigeria (PAFON), the nation’s preeminent industry platform for digital finance stakeholders, has officially announced the third edition of its flagship summit, PAFON 3.0, reports ITREALMS.
Under a central theme of exploring emerging trends and disruptive technologies, PAFON 3.0 will unite over 600 industry professionals and 20+ expert speakers. The forum serves as a critical junction for banks, fintechs, telcos, and policymakers to collaborate on the future of digital payments, cybersecurity, and the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in finance.
As Nigeria continues to lead the continent in digital payment innovation, this year’s forum focuses on creating a sustainable framework for inclusive growth. A headline session titled “Fair Digital Payments as a Catalyst for Deepening Financial Inclusion in Nigeria” will serve as a cornerstone of the event, addressing how technology can democratize financial access for millions of underserved citizens.
Speaking on the vision for this year’s summit, Chike Onwuegbuchi, Co-Convener of PAFON and Chairman of the Nigeria Information Technology Reporters’ Association (NITRA), emphasized the forum's role in national development:
"PAFON 3.0 is more than just a conference; it is a strategic policy-industry dialogue designed to architect the future of our digital economy. We are bridging the gap between regulators like the CBN, NITDA, and NCC, and infrastructure providers to ensure Nigeria's payment ecosystem remains fair, accessible, and technology-driven. Our goal is to champion a consumer-first approach that empowers both MSMEs and everyday users."
Thought Leadership Panels: High-impact discussions on AI-driven finance, digital commerce, and the evolving regulatory landscape.
Regulator Engagement: Direct access to key agencies, including the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA), and the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC).
Innovation Showcase: A dedicated exhibition space for fintechs and banks to demonstrate cutting-edge products, from next-gen digital wallets to advanced POS solutions.
Strategic Networking: Exclusive B2B opportunities for merchant aggregators, infrastructure providers, and financial institutions to forge cross-sector partnerships.
