Emerging Markets Payments (EMP), the leading electronic payments processing company in the Middle East and Africa (MEA), recently participated as a sponsor at the African Banker Awards. EMP has been sponsoring the regional awards ceremony for several years, with this time being the first as the Platinum sponsor.
During the event, EMP Chairman Paul Edwards had the honor of presenting the award for African Bank of the Year to Guaranty Trust Bank Plc. In addition, EMP showcased its cutting edge innovations and vision for advancing the payment card industry at the annual event which took place in Kigali, Rwanda.
"Supporting the development of the payments industry is one of EMP's key objectives and we work closely with our partners in order to do so," said Paul Edwards, Chairman of EMP. "Sponsoring an event such as the African Banker Awards provides us with a great opportunity to continue to support the industry through a platform that recognises the talent, determination and innovation that is moving the industry forward."
EMP has partnered with the African Banker Awards to sponsor the ceremony for three consecutive years starting 2014. The African Banker Awards are designed to recognise the reforms, rapid modernisation, consolidation, integration and expansion of Africa's banking and financial system. The annual event, which takes place during the annual meeting of the African Development Bank, highlights the achievements of companies and individuals that contribute to the transformation and development of Africa's financial sector.
