Africa Fintech Forum 2026

The 6th Edition Africa Fintech Forum 2026 will take place on 24 March 2026 in Johannesburg, South Africa, bringing together senior decision-makers shaping the future of digital finance across the African continent. Organized by BII Global, this high-level forum unites regulators, central banks, C-suite executives, fintech founders, and industry pioneers to explore the regulatory, technological, and market forces driving innovation in payments, digital banking, embedded finance, and financial inclusion. South Africa’s fintech ecosystem — one of Africa’s most sophisticated and rapidly evolving markets — sets the stage for candid, policy-aligned dialogue and strategic engagement.

Attendees at Africa Fintech Forum 2026 will benefit from expert panels, keynote sessions, case studies, and networking designed to address crucial topics such as modernising national payment systems, open finance frameworks, central bank digital currencies, cross-border interoperability, responsible innovation with AI and data, and sustainable fintech growth across emerging markets. With participation from senior regulators like the Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA) and leading industry voices, the forum offers rare opportunities for institutional collaboration, high-value partnerships, and actionable insights into how digital finance can scale with resilience and inclusion across Africa’s dynamic financial landscape.
