<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“In other to
deepen innovation capabilities and improve speed to market with digital
innovation product and services, FirstBank established its digital innovation
lab to adopt agile development approach in its operations. The Bank has also
developed a robust telco-agnostic mobile money wallet to potentially defend its
business from the incursion of BigTechs and FinTechs into the core banking
space. I believe that there is a significant opportunity for value adding
strategic cooperation and collaboration between Nigerian and the Bulgarian
Banking and FinTech communities.”</p>
