Adedipe, re-echoing the description that fintech is the fusion of finance and technology, which has revolutionised the way we manage, invest, and access money he reiterated that its adoption would grow SMEs significantly.

He said SME banking is on the throes of fintech, and explained, “SME banking is a set of financial services custom-fitted for the smaller scale and specific needs of Small and Medium sized Enterprises.”

Adedipe underlined that to make the Fintech fitted, it would require the government and the financial system regulators treat fintech “as an important strategic part of the financial ecosystem not just to deepen financial inclusion, but to assure inclusive and sustainable economic growth.”

While emphasising shared responsibilities, the financial expert said, “It is also important to mention that fintech operators should also maintain good faith, as the MSMEs grow with them.”

financial sector, the role of fintech in empowering SMEs will only grow in significance. With a young and dynamic

entrepreneurial ecosystem; the demand for fintech solutions tailored for SMEs is expected to soar, driving further innovation and competition in the market.”
