Botswana Telecommunications Corporation Limited (BTC) hosted a Finance and Banking Sector engagement session, bringing together industry stakeholders to explore how finance and technology are converging to shape smarter, more secure and more inclusive service delivery across Botswana’s financial ecosystem held under the theme “Convergence: Where Finance and Technology Meet”.

Welcoming guests to the session, BTC Chief Enterprise Sales Officer, Ms Sefalana Mophuting said the “engagement reflects the reality that finance and technology are increasingly intertwined”, adding that “as institutions adapt to this convergence, the role of technology has become central in enabling secure transactions, enhancing customer experiences, driving operational efficiency and unlocking new growth opportunities”, she explained. She added that “the engagement is not only an opportunity for us to showcase our capabilities, but also a platform to strengthen collaboration, exchange insights, and collectively shape a resilient and future-ready financial ecosystem”.

Delivering insights on the Campaign Perspective, the BTC Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jürgen Peschel emphasised that in today’s environment, connectivity is not merely infrastructure, but the foundation of trust, security and service delivery for financial institutions operating in an always-on digital economy. He explained that the objective of the session was “to present BTC’s tailored solutions and value propositions relevant to the financial and banking sector, strengthen customer relationships through direct engagement with decision-makers, reinforce BTC’s role in enabling digital transformation and connectivity within the sector and identify opportunities for collaboration and growth”, he said.

Mr Peschel further stated that the convergence of finance, telecommunications and technology is redefining how financial institutions operate, compete and serve their customers. He explained that the objective of the session was “to present BTC’s tailored solutions and value propositions relevant to the financial and banking sector, strengthen customer relationships through direct engagement with decision-makers, reinforce BTC’s role in enabling digital transformation and connectivity within the sector and identify opportunities for collaboration and growth”, he said.

“Digital banking, mobile payments, real-time transactions and fintech innovation are no longer future aspirations; they are today’s reality”, he said. For banks, insurers and financial service providers, even the smallest disruption can have far-reaching consequences, which is why BTC Business is focused on delivering resilient connectivity, cloud, cybersecurity, data centre and managed services through one accountable partner. “Botswana’s financial institutions deserve a partner that does not simply provide technology, but delivers reliability, accountability and support when it matters most;  delivered now and connected to what’s next,” he said.
