First Bank of Nigeria Limited has announced that the fourth edition of its ‘fireside chat’ would hold on May 31 at its Digital Innovation Lab in Yaba, Lagos.
The topic “cyber security in digital payments” will be delivered by co-founder of Digital Encode, Dr. Obadare Adewale, who is the guest speaker at the event.
FirstBank’s fireside chat had its inaugural edition in 2018 with founder of TeamApt Limited, Tosin Eniolorunda, and subsequently with Managing Partner of 2iLabs, Ope Adeoye, and Managing Director, Venture Garden Group, Bunmi Akinyemiju.
The chat is a congregation of players in the technology and fintech ecosystem.
Head of FirstBank’s Digital Innovation Lab, Lola Ekugo, said that FirstBank fireside chat is a public conversation that convenes active players and influencers in the technology ecosystem in order to have thought-provoking discussions.
These discussions, he said, aim to reveal new perspectives on a range of discussion points with a view to pulling out genuinely relevant insights on trends and recent happenings in the industry.
Group Executive, E-Business and Retail Products at FirstBank, Chuma Ezirim, said that with the advent of the global village of today’s society, and growing embrace of cashless transactions across the country; the event’s topic is very timely and positioned to reinforce the awareness and education of the bank’s customers and Nigerians at large on the fundamentals of staying protected against cyber theft.
Mr Ezirim said it would also promote the seamless use and adaptation to FirstBank’s wide-range of technological driven payments products such as WhatsApp banking, FirstMobile, *894# USSD banking and FirstOnline.
