Mambu RT (CD): Regulation, Innovation, and Trust: A Joint Conversation on Data Sovereignty in African Financial Systems

This closed-door boardroom roundtable brings together regulators, financial institutions, fintech leaders, and cloud technology providers to explore how data can be securely governed in cloud-based core banking environments.

Using Mambu and Amazon Web Services (AWS) as practical reference points, the discussion will bridge policy intent and operational reality—focusing on data residency, transparency, and trust within African financial systems.

Why it matters:

Regulators and financial institutions need practical assurance—not theory—on how data is governed in the cloud.

What this session delivers:

● Real-world data residency and security protocols (Mambu + AWS)

● Shared understanding of regulatory expectations

● Trusted, closed-door dialogue among decision-makers

Outcome:

Stronger regulatory confidence, accelerated cloud adoption, and resilient financial systems
