Represented by members of its Digital Banking and Strategy team, Stateside Bank
connected with thought leaders and industry stakeholders shaping Nigeria’s fintech
landscape. Through meaningful conversations and knowledge sharing, the bank

technology sectors seeking to build a more inclusive and innovative digital future. For
Stateside Bank, it was an opportunity to engage directly with the broader fintech
ecosystem and strengthen relationships that align with its mission to be the preferred
digital bank pushing the frontiers of technology.

institutions in shaping the financial services landscape.

Sharing insights after the event, a Stateside representative highlighted the bank’s
continued focus on leveraging innovation to make banking simpler, faster, and more
accessible.

“Our goal is to stay ahead of the curve, using innovation not as a trend, but as a tool to
improve everyday banking experiences and help customers achieve financial
confidence,” the representative said.

As conversations around open banking, digital inclusion, and ecosystem collaboration
continue to gain momentum, Stateside Bank remains intentional about aligning with
industry trends that empower its customers and communities. The bank believes that

impact in the financial sector.

that promote digital inclusion and financial literacy, both of which are critical pillars
for a sustainable digital economy. Its involvement at Nigeria Fintech Week 2025
reflects not only its forward-thinking approach but also its growing relevance in
