Zeepay Ghana Limited’s Takyi-Appiah: “The concept of WhatsApp is not proprietary anymore” Andrew Takyi-Appiah, managing director and co-founder of Zeepay, spoke with Emmanuel Daniel about efforts around promoting financial inclusion through his venture Zeepay, the only currently existing non-telco fintech player to receive an Electronic Money Issuer (EMI) or mobile money license in Ghana. The following key points were discussed during the interview: ● The African payment and remittance ecosystem is worth $250 billion and comprises more than 80 wallet service providers, 20 million Visa Direct bank cards and high penetration and usage of mobile all of which present a huge opportunity for Zeepay. ● As a fintech with interoperability at both back-end and front-end, Zeepay binds different parts of the ecosystem together into one single platform to transact and enable remittances to be paid into mobile wallets in Ghana. ● Zeepay is building its own ecosystem on the OTT messaging players like WhatsApp and Facebook through addition of multi-layer protocols.

Future of Customer Experience: Instant, interactive and interconnected The RadioFinance session on Beyond Banking: Creating Exceptional Customer Experience held on 23 May 2023 featured industry experts discussing new technologies that can enable the next level of customer experience. Martin Buchholz of CIMB Thai Bank, Dipen Mehta of Microsoft and Frankie Wai of Temenos shared their insights and analysis on how financial institutions improve customer experience and what the future trends are. The session was moderated by Chris Kapfer, director of research at The Asian Banker. The session opened with remarks that banks are enhancing customer experience in a more disciplined and holistic way. Dipen Mehta said that the focus is on a human-centered design that prioritised customer journeys across different business lines and that customer engagement involves the entire organisation. Martin Bucholz stressed the need for a diverse, non-banking customer experience team to encourage innovation. He said that while the focus initially was on improving user interface and user experience, the scope of customer experience has expanded. He said: “The team that we built is responsible for more than just digital user interface and user experience and the tools for turning us into a more customer-centric organisation. Digital isn’t digital only. You always have the human interface in the customer journey.” Frankie Wai, explained that a ‘design-first’ approach is all about simplifying complex processes. The Temenos Design Center of Excellence adheres to seven principles: customer centricity, intuitive design, human interface guidelines, visually-appealing designs, functional capability, innovative thinking, and consistency. He said: “These principles aim to enhance user engagement and foster customer loyalty.” The panel also talked about the importance of having a unified data lake that consolidates data to enable effective analytics, and the need to combine structured data—such as risk appetite, and account details—with unstructured data from interactions across multiple platforms to achieve hyper-personalisation. Wai said: “The platform needs to be able to capture all forms of financial and non-financial information available for a customer and make it ready as insights in a digital format to the front-end users.” The panel also discussed the potential of conversational artificial intelligence (AI) to further enhance customer experience. Mehta explained that GPT-based AI technology, often used for chat interfaces, can also be used internally in business operations. Generative AI can provide financial advisors with summarised and actionable insights from extensive data, including from external sources, enhancing rather than replacing their job functions.
