A seat at the table where the UEMOA fintech agenda gets set
NFF 2026 is not an event to sponsor. It is where regulators, central banks, commercial banks and fintech leaders define tomorrow's standards.
A seat at the table, not a booth
UEMOA's payment infrastructure is being rewritten. The BCEAO's Instant Payment System (SPI) rollout, the new PSP licensing framework, and the push toward full UEMOA interoperability are reshaping the ecosystem.
NFF 2026 is where regulators, central bankers, commercial banks, switches and fintech leaders convene in one room. The Cotonou Declaration is the first regional fintech policy pledge of its kind.
