In this episode of Namibia's biggest Cyber Security podcast - Somebody’s Watching, Marcel and Michael are joined by Tuna Brock from the Bank of Namibia for a conversation about the development and future of fintech in Namibia. Tuna shares insight into the journey behind the initiative, Fintech Youth Programme and the Innovation Hub and how fintech solutions are assessed before entering the Namibian market, and the role innovation hub can play in strengthening the country’s financial ecosystem.
The discussion explores how fintech can improve financial inclusion in rural communities where access to smartphones, connectivity, digital literacy and formal identification may still be limited. We also look at how Namibia can create opportunities for local entrepreneurs and protect young innovators as the fintech sector grows.
