    Dans les coulisses de l’événement Connect MEA 🇫🇷
    Mar 19 2026

    Et si la finance commençait vraiment par le terrain ? Dans ce nouvel épisode Fintrends, je reçois Camil Bennani‑Smirez, General Manager SBP Core Amplitude chez SBS, à l’occasion de l'événement Connect MEA, à Doula (24 mars) et Abidjan (26 et 27 mars). Camil y raconte comment un événement né il y a quelques années à Abidjan est devenu un rendez‑vous incontournable pour les banques africaines, au point d’inspirer toutes les régions de SBS. Entre inclusion financière, microfinance, data, IA et digitalisation, il partage une conviction forte : ce sont les solutions pensées localement (parfois co‑designées directement avec les clients) qui transforment réellement l’accès aux services financiers. Un échange résolument ancré dans les réalités africaines.

  • An insider view on the MEA Connect event

    An insider view on the MEA Connect event
    Mar 19 2026

    What if finance really did start at the grassroots level? In this new episode of Fintrends, I’m joined by Camil Bennani-Smirez, General Manager of SBP Core Amplitude at SBS, ahead of the Connect MEA event in Douala (24 March) and Abidjan (26 and 27 March). Camil explains how an event launched a few years ago in Abidjan has become an unmissable gathering for African banks, to the point of inspiring all regions within SBS. Spanning financial inclusion, microfinance, data, AI and digitalisation, he shares a strong conviction: it is locally devised solutions (sometimes co-designed directly with clients) that truly transform access to financial services. A discussion firmly rooted in African realities.

From AI and SaaS to customer experience and trust, this conversation cuts through the noise to what truly drives progress.
