BKN301 Group Hosts EMEA Roadshows to Advance Financial Inclusion and Spur Fintech Innovation

November 11, 2024 – BKN301 Group, a pioneering digital payments and Banking-as-a-Service (BaaS) provider headquartered in London, is making strides toward fostering financial inclusion and technological advancement across the EMEA region. Known for its innovative approach to BaaS, payment accounts, Payments-as-a-Service, and digital wallets, BKN301 is hosting a series of roadshows to showcase cutting-edge solutions that empower local markets and broaden access to financial services.

The company’s first roadshow was held in Doha, Qatar, earlier this year, setting a collaborative tone for industry stakeholders in the Middle East. This initial success paved the way for a subsequent event in Tbilisi, Georgia, in partnership with prominent organizations including the British Embassy Tbilisi, the National Bank of Georgia, the Banking Association of Georgia, and the Fintech Association of Georgia (FIA). Building on the momentum from these events, BKN301 has announced that its next roadshow will be held in Cairo, Egypt, in 2025, where it will continue its mission of financial empowerment by connecting local businesses with leading fintech solutions.

Through this series of roadshows, BKN301 aims to raise awareness about the transformative potential of digital financial services tailored to meet the specific needs of various markets within the EMEA region. The roadshows have convened fintech industry experts, banking representatives, and government officials, fostering a collaborative environment to explore the latest advancements in digital payments and BaaS technologies. At these events, BKN301 introduced its flagship BaaS Orchestrator to regional markets, underscoring the growing demand for such innovative solutions in EMEA’s financial landscape. With this approach, the company is positioned to address a BaaS market in EMEA expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.60%, potentially reaching USD 14.72 billion by 2029.

The BaaS Orchestrator, a centerpiece of BKN301’s technology offerings, is specifically designed to meet the unique challenges of diverse EMEA markets. It allows financial institutions and fintech companies to access a scalable, robust, and fully integrated digital platform that streamlines account management, payments, and other banking services. By providing the infrastructure to enable seamless financial operations, BKN301 empowers local stakeholders to build user-friendly, accessible financial products that foster inclusion and growth in underserved markets.

Empowering Local Markets with Financial Inclusion

A key objective of BKN301’s roadshows is to expand financial inclusion in regions where access to banking and financial services is limited. In many parts of EMEA, especially in rural or underserved areas, traditional banking infrastructure remains underdeveloped, restricting individuals and small businesses from participating fully in the economy. BKN301 addresses this gap by offering digital solutions that provide an affordable, scalable alternative to traditional banking.

Stiven Muccioli, Founder & CEO of BKN301 Group, articulated the company’s vision, stating:

“At BKN301, we believe that financial inclusion is integral to catalyzing the economic development of nations and are committed to empowering countries in the EMEA region. With a dynamic, tech-savvy young population that is eager to leverage the potential of the latest technologies, we see great promise in fostering fintech solutions that serve as a bridge to economic participation for all. By hosting these roadshows, we aim to provide invaluable insights and resources that will allow businesses to harness advanced technologies, driving innovation and sustainable growth.”

BKN301’s commitment to financial inclusion goes beyond products and services; it involves active education and collaboration with local stakeholders to ensure that solutions are not only implemented but are effectively utilized. At each roadshow, BKN301 facilitates discussions and workshops that cover a wide range of topics, from regulatory compliance and risk management to user experience and product scalability. This approach helps local businesses and financial institutions better understand how to leverage BaaS and digital payments to foster economic growth within their communities.

Impact on the Regional Financial Ecosystem

The series of roadshows organized by BKN301 underscores the company’s ambition to become a leading force in the EMEA fintech ecosystem. By introducing innovative digital solutions, BKN301 contributes to the region’s growing fintech landscape, which has witnessed substantial investment and expansion over the past few years. Through partnerships with key stakeholders, such as the British Embassy Tbilisi and national banking authorities, the roadshows create an environment that encourages knowledge sharing and collaboration across borders. This networking helps local fintech firms and financial institutions gain insights into best practices and industry standards, equipping them to better serve their communities.

Future of Financial Services with BKN301’s BaaS Orchestrator

BKN301’s BaaS Orchestrator represents a transformative tool for the EMEA region. The platform consolidates essential financial functions into one streamlined, easy-to-use system, enabling users to offer a comprehensive suite of financial services without significant overhead or infrastructure. The Orchestrator’s flexibility makes it ideal for adapting to the specific needs of each market, providing customizable features that cater to local regulations, currencies, and user preferences. As demand for these services grows, BKN301’s technology is well-positioned to drive financial inclusion and bring advanced digital banking capabilities to areas that were previously underserved.

The upcoming roadshow in Cairo is expected to continue this legacy of transformation. By highlighting the adaptability and scalability of the BaaS Orchestrator, BKN301 aims to inspire Egyptian businesses and financial institutions to adopt digital payment solutions that promote financial inclusion.
