Monica Technologies Is Taking the Headline at Nigeria Fintech Forum 2026 and the Industry Should Take Note
July 30, Victoria Island, One room. Every conversation that matters to the future of Nigerian finance.
There are events you attend because you have to and there are events you attend because something tells you that the conversations happening inside that building will shape the next chapter of your industry, and the Nigeria Fintech Forum has spent five editions becoming firmly, unmistakably the second kind.
On Thursday July 30 2026 the fifth edition of the Forum opens its doors at the Civic Centre on Victoria Island, Lagos, themed Finance, Regulation and the New Operating Reality, and for the first time Monica Technologies stands at the front of it all as the official headline sponsor, a position that says something deliberate about where Monica is, where the industry is and why this particular gathering at this particular moment matters more than most.
The Forum arrives at a genuinely consequential time for Nigerian fintech, a moment when the excitement of the industry’s early growth phase is giving way to something more demanding, deeper regulatory scrutiny, harder infrastructure questions, more complex conversations about what financial inclusion actually looks like when it moves beyond the headline numbers and into the daily realities of the people it is supposed to serve, and the 2026 edition has been designed with exactly that shift in mind, bringing together more than 1,700 regulators, bank executives, fintech founders, infrastructure providers, investors, policymakers and technology leaders for a day of conversations that the industry has been building toward for years.
The programme covers everything the ecosystem needs to confront right now, payments infrastructure, digital banking, lending and credit, fraud and cybersecurity, embedded finance, wealth tech, agent banking, cloud and data infrastructure, compliance technology, AI-powered financial services and enterprise fintech solutions, alongside a high-level regulatory roundtable that brings together regulators, compliance leaders and policy experts for the kind of frank discussion about licensing, supervision, digital assets and risk management that tends to happen in private and deserves to happen on a proper stage.
Monica will not simply be in the room, it will be part of the conversation, with Stephaine David and Adewale Akinpelu representing Monica Technologies on stage, bringing the company’s perspective directly into an ecosystem dialogue about what Nigerian finance needs to look like next, and given that Monica has processed over ₦100 billion in transactions while building a platform that turns crypto-to-naira conversion into something any Nigerian can do in seconds, that perspective comes with something more valuable than opinion, it comes with evidence.
Eventhive CEO Jamiu Ijaodola captured the spirit of this year’s edition precisely, noting that Nigeria’s fintech industry is entering a more mature and consequential phase where scale alone is no longer enough, and Monica COO Chinazam Umezinwa echoed that energy in the company’s own words, saying Monica is ready to show the ecosystem and the world what it has been up to and how it is shaping the future of finance in Nigeria.
July 30 is four days away, tickets are available at 50 percent off and the room is filling up with the people who build, regulate, invest in and depend on the future of Nigerian financial services, which means the only question left is whether you are going to be in it.
