What our participants say
As a member of the Payments Policy team at the Central Bank of Nigeria, the Cambridge Fintech and Regulatory Innovation Accelerator Program has been a game-changer for me. The program's in-depth exploration of emerging payment technologies, such as digital currencies, mobile payments, and open banking, has provided me with an understanding of the forces shaping the future of payments.
Through the program, I have gained some insights into the regulatory challenges and opportunities associated with these innovations. I can say that I am now better equipped to develop policies that will protect not just the regulator but the consumers as well, promote financial inclusion, and ensure the integrity of the Nigerian payment system. The program has not only enhanced my technical knowledge but has also sharpened my ability to navigate the complex interplay of technology, regulation, and market dynamics.
