Panel: Real‑Time Trust for Fintech: Identity and Risk APIs That Cut Fraud Without Adding Friction 

Kenechi Okeleke, Director, Regional, Social and Policy Research will be joining an industry expert panel as a moderator. 

This panel explores how telco network APIs can serve as real‑time trust signals for financial services: strengthening authentication, reducing account takeover and scam losses, and improving approval rates without forcing customers through repeated OTP and manual checks. Panellists will discuss what it takes to move from pilots to production: consent models, liability boundaries, commercial packaging, and how “coverage + consistency” changes the ROI equation for regional fintechs. ​
