AI Everywhere: AI as a service in Fintech
As AI becomes more widespread, questions are being raised about responsibility, liability, usability, job replacement and more. AI as a service is making it easier for everyone to make use of AI in their operations.
Cybersecurity: The bar is being raised
Cybersecurity has never ceased to be an issue, but a raft of new technologies are being brought to bear as biometrics, AI, IOT and smart contracts are colliding to transform finance.
Blockchain for the People!
Consumer finance and blockchain
Most people will never know that blockchain is their new best friend. From payments to forex, blockchain innovators are delivering the goods to consumers behind the scenes. Independent players will seek to undermine or partner with the big players for consumer spend.
Open Banking: Cracking the Vault
Consumer demand and sometimes regulators are forcing the hands of major financial institutions to open up. Open banking challenges: API adoption, security, liability, stickiness of customers and more.
Insurtech makes Insurance Ubiquitous
Insurance companies are seizing on new tech to transform user experiences and our relationship with what we own, rent and lease. Investors and insurance companies alike look at the new solutions they are investigating and committing to moving forward.
RegTech & SupTech:
Regulators and FIs need help
With global regulations tying the world up in red tape, institutions and regulators are seeking to harness suptech to deliver better results to let good guys thrive and catch the bad guys in the act. The latest and greatest from RegTech and Suptech.
