On the 12th of July '23, Fiorano, a prominent leader in global hybrid multi-cloud applications, held an in-person event in Lagos, in collaboration with partner Inlaks.

We covered in-depth areas including the compliance aspects of Open Banking, with a particular focus on essential security elements like OpenID / FAPI, strategic approaches banks can adopt, and critical topics of how regional banks should approach compliance and effectively leverage APIs for monetization" - Biju Suresh Babu, the Managing Director of Banking and Financial Services at Fiorano.
