Webster stated that Kuda is one of 60 renowned fintech institutions chosen for the honour from Europe, the Middle East, and Africa based on their valuation and influence among FinTechs based in the regions. She said that only 20 FinTechs were chosen to represent each region, making this a very expensive position. Kuda and 19 other FinTech peers from Africa were chosen.
According to her, “PYMNTS is excited to recognize the EMEA 60 during the EMEA PYMNTS FORUM for their outsized impact on forwarding the transformation of the digital economy.”
She stated that Kuda and the other enlisted honorees would be recognized at the inaugural EMEA PYMNTS FORUM, which is scheduled for September 22nd, 2022, in Paris, France. The conference program, “Benchmarking the Future of Payments and Finance in EMEA: Who’s Going to Win, How, and Why,” will delve into issues critical to the global economy’s digital transformation.
The EMEA PYMNTS FORUM will offer payments executives from the EMEA region a full day focused on gaining useful, actionable information and making meaningful connections with their C-suite peers. Participants include senior-level executives representing FinTechs, financial institutions, banks, processors, acquirers, card brands, technology companies, investment and VC firms and regulators.
With the acceleration of innovation in the EMEA region, PYMNTS is compelled and excited to bring together thought leaders in FinTech and beyond to network and gain practical knowledge on how to best operate across the changing and challenging payments ecosystem, Webster concluded.
In his remarks on the recognition, Babs Ogundeyi expressed appreciation to PYMNTS for the great honour done to Kuda.
It’s an honour for Kuda to be recognised by PYMNTS, a leading source of data, news and insights on innovation in payments and the platforms powering the connected economy. We’re all very proud of this achievement and we’re motivated to do even more for the world, he said.
