The Great Unbanking Debate: Identity, Access & Trust in African Markets
Who gets access to the financial system and who doesn’t?
This high-energy debate brings together fintech operators, banks, and platform builders to unpack where identity systems are breaking, how trust is being built in real time, and what it takes to scale across African markets without locking out legitimate users.
What to Expect
As fraud becomes more sophisticated and regulation struggles to keep pace, identity is no longer just a compliance step - it’s the gateway to participation. Across African markets, businesses are under pressure to onboard faster, reduce fraud, and remain compliant, while navigating fragmented regulations and diverse user realities.
This high-energy debate brings together fintech operators, banks, and platform builders to unpack:
- Where identity systems are breaking today
- How trust is being built in real time
- What it truly takes to scale across African markets without locking out legitimate users
Beyond the discussion, this is a curated, invite-only evening hosted by Sumsub & Innovation City - designed to bring together the right people in the room. Expect:
- A sharp, no-filter panel conversation
- Cocktails, good food, and meaningful networking
