FinTech is a space where the centuries-old traditional finance sector is evolving rapidly thanks to the well-funded tech innovations. Established banks are also investing massively in #FinTech to improve customer experience and their overall business.
We were at Money 20/20, Amsterdam, Europe’s largest FinTech event. As they say it is an event “where technology meets money, money meets people, people meet ideas and ideas become reality”.
Here are some learnings from the event:
"Build functionally to help customers save time. Predict behavior and alert them when there are deviations from what was predicted." @carlostorres – CEO of @bbva #M2020EU #Money2020 #Money2020EU #Money2020Europe @Money2020 #Fintech #Technology #CustomerFirst @warrendv

Banks actually offer only five products, and the only way to differentiate is by services, and the standards for services are set by the big and small techs; Ralph Hamers at #Money2020 #money2020eu

Investing in emerging markets inevitably involves short-term pains for long-term gains. That’s why anyone investing in emerging markets should plan to buy and hold these investments for several years, if not decades – https://t.co/wnvmz1hQ6Y #StockMarket #Investing101 #Money2020 pic.twitter.com/W7BSX6Vti8

Interesting to see the fintech industry chugging along on fiat/bank rails. I wonder if any of them realize those rails are terminal. Tomorrow's financial order will be built on blockchains, digital assets, and open networks. #money2020

From zero to 2500 – a decade long emergence of financial, banking, payments and monetization APIs, a shift that created precedent for #OpenBanking. API numbers pre-2008 are odd, plenty of payment gateway APIs in place years earlier – just no Fintech industry. #Money2020 #M2020EU. pic.twitter.com/R1ayGA4CyL
