The future of finance Think the fintech startup game is over? Well it’s not. When it comes to finance and disruption, these cycles play out longer than you think. Technology comes in waves. The financial community is no exception. We’re watching multiple trends cross, providing headaches and opportunities for incumbents along with openings for new entrants. Consumers are in the drivers seat and they have only just started to try new financial solutions. The future of finance is playing out in other markets faster – but there is no argument it is coming here. Come take a tour through the past, as we provide context for the financial landscape in the next few years. It’s all about API’s, data, AI, automation and technology innovation, and people of course.
