Trust: The Catalyst for Financial Inclusion
Speaking on the partnership, Mr. Chike Onwuegbuchi, Co-convener of Payments Forum Nigeria, emphasized that security is the bedrock of the digital economy.
"Without trust in the security of digital payments, inclusion cannot scale. We are thrilled to welcome Digital Encode as our Lead Sponsor. Given the company’s track record and the CVO’s global standing, attendees are guaranteed deep, actionable insights into protecting the payment ecosystem."
