CFIT CEO Anna Wallace Targets Fraud, SME Lending and Inclusion

The Centre for Finance, Innovation and Technology, or CFIT, brings together financial services, technology and policy stakeholders to tackle structural challenges through innovation. Its agenda is increasingly relevant as fraud erodes trust in digital finance, while small and medium-sized businesses continue to face friction in accessing credit. Improving lending processes and financial inclusion could help broaden access to capital and support economic growth.

CFIT CEO Anna Wallace is set to deliver a keynote focused on strengthening defenses against financial fraud, streamlining SME financing and lending, and widening access to financial services. The report did not specify the speech date, venue, funding amount or numerical targets. The planned address nevertheless signals that CFIT is placing fraud prevention, business credit and inclusion at the center of its financial-technology agenda.
