Jury selects fintech competition semi-finalists

A statement on Monday revealed that the semi-finalists were chosen after a jury evaluated the entries received for this year’s competition.

In the grand finale, there will be a Challenge for a $50,000 prize and a spot in the Ecobank Fintech Fellowship programme, which would significantly boost their innovations.

Through partnerships with Ecobank and its partners, Ecobank Fintech Fellows can access many options, including integrating their solutions with Ecobank and potentially opening doors for product launches inside Ecobank’s extensive 35-country Pan-African network.

Shortlisted fintechs may become Pan-African service partners within the Bank’s ecosystem. Fellows receive exclusive access to Ecobank’s innovative APIs, enabling them to test and develop their products for the Pan-African market.

They also have priority access to Ecobank’s Venture Capital partners for funding exploration.

Ecobank officials commend African fintech talents’ innovations.

Ms Djiba Diallo, the senior fintech advisor at Ecobank Transnational Incorporated (ETI), said, “I am impressed by the quality of this year’s applications. I recognize African talents and innovations.””

In Mr. Bolaji’s remark, he said, “We invite Nigerian fintechs to take advantage of the panel discussions while also using the opportunity to network and explore partnership opportunities that will support their growth,”.
