The pan-African banking group is currently inviting African fintech entrepreneurs to enter the 3rd edition of the Ecobank Fintech Challenge, which closes 12th April, 2020.
All Finalists will be inducted as Ecobank Fintech Fellows. They will participate in a business boot camp followed by an Awards and Innovation Fair at the headquarters of the Ecobank Goup in Lomé, Togo in June 2020.
And fellows will qualify to explore multinational product roll out and service provider partnerships. The bank will as well grant them access to Pan-African Banking Sandbox. And they will explore mentoring and networking support in the network of global and African partners of the Group.
“We took feedback from the past editions. This year shortlisted fintechs will access our APIs through our Pan African Sandbox,” Ecobank Senior Fintech Advisor, Djiba Diallo, said.
