At the recently concluded iFX Expo, hosted at the luxurious City of Dreams Mediterranean in Limassol, CBN engaged in insightful conversations with six prominent players in the fintech business. These exchanges sought to unravel what makes them tick, shedding light on the industry’s driving forces, and prognosticate upcoming trends.
