The 2026 Agenda

Nine tracks across the fintech stack.

Building on the success of the 2025 multi-city debut, NFW 2026 expands its reach across Nigeria’s three commercial engines – bringing the agenda to where the country’s fintech activity is actually happening.

Payments & Infrastructure

The original Nigerian fintech agenda – switches, processors, open banking, the rails.

Regulation & Compliance

Open Banking, the SEC’s digital assets framework, agent banking limits, KYC, licensing, the regulator stage.

Cross-Border & Africa Expansion

Nigeria as the gateway to West Africa. Remittance corridors, FX, intra-African settlement.

Lending, Credit & Capital Markets

Credit infrastructure, BNPL, digital lending, the maturing of Nigeria’s consumer credit story.

Digital Assets, Crypto & Web3

Post-ARIP regulation, stablecoins, tokenisation, and the ecosystem after the SEC’s first approvals.

Embedded Finance & API Economy

Banking-as-a-Service, API-led distribution, and the new architecture of consumer finance.

Banking Transformation

How Tier 1 banks are partnering, acquiring, and innovating – and what it means for the bank-fintech relationship.

Insurtech, Wealthtech & Inclusion

Micro-insurance, savings, retail wealth, and the products bringing the underserved into the formal economy.

Founders, Investors & The Pitch

The deal room, the pitch competition, and the investor conversations that move capital.
