The future of payment will take centre stage on Thursday October 2, 2025, as leading voices from Africa’s fintech and enterprise ecosystem gather for a virtual webinar titled ‘Managing Payment Operations at Scale with APIs’.
The webinar will bring together senior executives and product leaders who have been instrumental in shaping Africa’s digital finance infrastructure.
Organisers say the session is designed to provide practical strategies for CTOs, CFOs, and product leaders grappling with the demands of scaling financial operations.
The 90-minute session scheduled for 12 noon on Zoom, will explore how businesses can simplify reconciliation, reduce operational costs, and adapt to rising transaction volumes through the use of APIs.
“APIs are the connective tissue for modern payments,” Okoronkwo Kanno, senior product manager, Kuda Business, said in a statement ahead of the webinar.

Kanno, who will give the keynote address, is expected to highlight the role of APIs in scaling payment operations for enterprises.
“When businesses can automate reconciliation and scale financial operations seamlessly, they don’t just cut costs, they unlock entirely new growth opportunities. That’s the conversation we want to bring to the ecosystem.”
The discussion will cover real-world use cases from industries such as airlines, schools, and betting, where high-volume transactions and back-end reconciliation remain a pressing challenge.
Speakers include Obianuju Odukwe, vice president of digital and API ecosystems at Interswitch; Segun Adeyemi, CEO of Anchor, and Tochukwu Achebe, founder, The Nwa-Amaka Achebe Trust.
Together, they will share insights from the frontlines of digital payments, alongside other senior executives shaping the continent’s financial technology landscape.
By convening experienced practitioners and innovators, the webinar aims to arm enterprises with the tools and knowledge needed to scale in a digital marketplace.
