He made this call during his presentation at the 2023
digital pay expo conference in Lagos.
In a statement, he spoke on how transitioning financial
services to a cashless payment model fostered socioeconomic development.
Atanda said, “Contactless payment can greatly increase the
use of cashless transactions. For us in the developing economy, which Nigeria
partly belongs to, financial inclusion is crucial, and it depends on digital
inclusion.
“Ultimately, this is about socio-economic growth, because
cashless is not an end, but a means to improve and speed up payment, which
benefits the whole ecosystem.”
Reiterating Remita’s contribution to the advancement of
cashless transactions in Africa, Deremi emphasised that, “collaboration among
stakeholders will create revolutionary technology that made financial
transactions easier and more accessible.”
He added, “While cashless payments offer clear advantages
and development potential, we must not overlook the key dependencies involved.
“The development of cashless payments should be accompanied
by careful consideration of regulations and standards to maximise its
benefits.”
With over two decades of expertise in the fintech industry,
Atanda is a skilled business leader and innovator. He is driven to use
technology to address social and economic challenges while creating value for
customers and stakeholders, the statement said.
It added that, “Remita Payment Services Limited is a leading
provider of electronic payment solutions in Nigeria and across Africa.
“Under ‘Deremi’s leadership and vision, Remita is a pioneer
of Nigeria’s fintech revolution, offering innovative solutions for financial
