Accra, Ghana | 25th February 2026

Accra, Ghana – The International Centre for Strategic Alliances (ICSA) proudly announces the 25th Edition Connected Banking Summit – Innovation & Excellence Awards 2026, taking place on 25th February 2026 in Accra, Ghana.

Marking a historic Silver Jubilee milestone, the summit returns to Accra where it all began in 2018 to bring together senior banking leaders, fintech innovators, regulators, and technology strategists to accelerate West Africa’s financial sector transformation.

Under the theme “Next-Gen Finance West Africa: Resilient, Scalable & Customer-Centric,” the summit will serve as a premier platform for strategic dialogue, executive networking, and future-defining collaborations as the region transitions toward digital-first financial services.
