Also commenting on the challenges faced, Edidiong had this to say:
“The challenges we have faced are no different from the industry-wide obstacles that stakeholders are trying to navigate. For example, inadequate internet penetration, poor network quality, and overall infrastructural deficits across major areas of our national life remain a sore thumb. We appreciate the work done by the main players and regulators, however, we need to fast-track these improvements fast so that digital access and seamless financial transactions can happen in rural and remote areas.
There is also a need for all players in the fintech ecosystem to strongly collaborate as we ramp up our investments in the areas of transaction monitoring, cyber security, fraud detection systems, and technologies that can help with flagging suspicious activities.”
