The Association of Corporate Communication and Marketing Professionals in Banks (ACAMB) has urged banks to deepen the adoption of digital payment channels, including QR code payments, following a courtesy visit to the Nigeria Inter-Bank Settlement System (NIBSS) PLC in Lagos.

The visit, which brought the leadership of both bodies together, followed a deliberation around a shared concern with emphasis on the need for the industry to strengthen its payment rails and speak with a united and accurate voice when service disruptions occur.

Leading the ACAMB delegation, President, Jide Sipe said the association wants a forum where banks can have a single conversation about the sector, so that new and valuable developments are effectively disseminated to the public promptly and accurately.

“We want to make sure there is a space where banks engage, share ideas, and ask relevant questions about how to grow the industry as well as manage its challenges,” Sipe said.

The association’s President added that ACAMB has been meeting stakeholders across the sector, including the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria (CIBN), to understand where the association can support better collaboration and engagement.
