Meet key African players Top countries represented

The African financial industry is looking for ways to collaborate across borders in order to become a bigger and stronger player on the global stage. Bringing together the many markets in Africa requires cooperation between governments, regulators and the private sector to develop common solutions to our common challenges.

At Ecobank, we are at the forefront of promoting trade in Africa and believe that events such as the SWIFT African Regional Conference are critical platforms to facilitate this.” Ade Ayeyemi, CEO, Ecobank
