They include Membership and Funding; Strategy and Planning; Administration and Technology; Media, Advocacy, Brand and Communications; Events and Programmes; Research and Market Trends” He went further to say that “As part its initial steps, the Association has made approaches to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), National Insurance Commission (NAICOM), and Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on its intent and purposes through the Chairman of the interim GovCo.” All firms and organisations operating in Nigeria’s FinTech space are invited to join FTAN – FINTECH ASSOCIATION OF NIGERIA.
