AI in Fintech: How SA's Leading Players Are Building the Future of Finance

SEP16
17:00

About this event

South Africa's fintech industry is booming, valued at over USD 1.1 billion and growing at close to 16% a year. And right at the centre of that growth is AI, quietly reshaping everything from fraud detection to product design to the way teams work day to day.
Join us at Salt for an evening with two experts from leading South African fintech businesses, sharing how they've actually put AI to work. Not the theory, the reality: what's been adopted, what's changed in their workflows, and what it means for the products they're building.
Expect an honest, practical conversation, drinks in hand, with plenty of room for your questions.
Your speakers:
Kiaan Pillay - CEO & Co-founder, Stitch
Fran Thring - Head of Product, SnapScan
📍 Salt Offices, 130 Bree Street, Cape Town
🗓 Wednesday, 16 September | 17:00–20:00
🎟 Limited spots available

🇿🇦 Growth Lab: The Gap Between Data & Growth

Cape Town, South Africa, Cape Town, South Africa
In person

Google knows someone clicked your ad. Your website knows they signed up. Your CRM knows whether they became qualified. Your backend knows whether they became a customer. So why does Google only see part of the story? At our next Cape Town Growth Lab, we’re unpacking how first-party data, conversion tracking and Google AI come together to drive better growth. We’ll explore: → Where customer data becomes disconnected → Which events Google should actually optimise for → How to connect your website, CRM, backend and advertising data → Why better customer signals matter as Google AI makes more decisions → How to move from tracking activity to sharing customer intelligence Whether your tracking stops at clicks, form submissions or somewhere deeper in the funnel, this session will help you identify what Google is missing and what you should feed back. Come ready to learn, challenge how your campaigns are being optimised and connect with other senior marketers over drinks and canapés. 🥂
