The 2025 Bankers Lake Conference opened yesterday at Sunbird Nkopola in Mangochi with a K7 million boost towards advancing collaboration, innovation and sustainable growth in Malawi’s financial sector.
The gathering, themed “Facing the Future Together: The Phenomenal Power of Synergy”, has drawn banking executives, regulators, policy makers and other stakeholders to explore joint strategies for tackling industry challenges and expanding financial inclusion.
At the launch, First Capital Bank (FCB) Head of Marketing and Communications, Twikale Chirwa, said the theme mirrors the need for institutions to work together for lasting impact.
“At First Capital Bank, we see synergy not just as a theme, but as a strategy. The banking sector thrives when we collaborate to innovate, adapt, and deliver value for our customers and communities. Our K7 million sponsorship reflects our commitment to driving that shared progress,” said Chirwa.
Bankers Association of Malawi (BAM) Chief Executive Officer Lyness Nkungula hailed FCB for the support, saying it will go a long way in making the annual lake conference a success.
The Banker’s Lake Conference has become Malawi’s premier annual gathering for financial leaders, regulators, innovators, and policymakers. It provides a unique platform to address emerging industry challenges, harness opportunities, and forge partnerships that will define the future of banking.
