An Exclusive Executive Banking Roundtable | Hosted by nCino & Connect Global Group
Commercial banks in Africa are at an inflection point. Customer expectations have shifted decisively toward digital-first experiences, market conditions demand faster and smarter credit decisions, and competitive pressure from fintechs and non-bank lenders is intensifying — yet most commercial lending operations remain constrained by fragmented systems and manual processes.
The average commercial lending team juggles 8–12 disconnected platforms. Relationship managers spend more time on administration than on client relationships. And the cost of inaction is growing.
Leading banks are changing this - building connected, AI-powered lending ecosystems that transform how they originate, underwrite and manage commercial relationships at scale.
This exclusive afternoon roundtable brings together senior banking leaders to explore what this transformation looks like in practice: the pressures, the possibilities, and the practical roadmap from where banks are today to where they need to be.
You'll leave with a clearer picture of the African commercial lending landscape, a sharper view of where credit is heading across Africa and globally and concrete insight into what it takes to build a future-ready lending operation.
