With the launch of ALAT, Nigeria’s first digital bank in 2017, we showed the world that it was possible to hack and redefine experiential banking. Since then, we have taken it a step further with the birth of Hackaholics – the Wema bank hackathon.
Hackaholics by WEMA is set up to promote the development of technological solutions for financial and institutional needs, and other everyday social issues.
It brings together developers, designers, and creative thinkers to develop products and discover new technologies. Example of such applications includes innovations in risk management, trading, investing, personal finance, big data, retail banking, regulatory compliance, mobile payments and enterprise social, environmental, and health issues.
The 2022 edition of the Wema Hackathon tagged ‘Hackaholics 3.0’. Hackaholics 3.0 is centred around exploring the possibilities of Emerging Technologies (NFTs, Metaverse, Blockchain, AR, VR, AI, IoT) in solving basic human needs across/for Finance, Health, Entertainment, Credit & Lending and SMEs. This is about Building the future – Now and tomorrow. Are you ready to build?
