Focus on Fintech Episode 1: What is FinTech?

Gartner includes data ethics and privacy on their list of the top 10 strategic technology trends of 2019, placing these issues on the same level as AI-driven development, blockchain, and edge computing.

With the enforcement of GDPR in May 2018, the enactment of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) one month later, and other state and federal data privacy proposals not far behind, financial institutions of all sizes are having to devote time, personnel, and resources to the task of getting a handle on their data practices.

This webinar will explore how these regulations — and new data privacy laws appearing around the world — are changing the way financial institutions gather, process, and share personal data. Learn key highlights of GDPR and CCPA readiness, steps to consider in approaching expanded definitions of personal data and individual privacy rights, triggers that can impact compliance status, and business benefits of aligning with data privacy requirements.

The last 10 years have seen an incredible growth of the e-commerce landscape with new disrupting business models adding themselves to the traditional ones. Online platforms are major actors of this phenomenon, think of marketplaces, crowdfunding platforms and even FinTechs. To enable payments on those platforms, traditional banks have found it hard to come up with adequate solutions.

This webinar will focus on the specific needs that platforms have when it comes to payments and how new end-to-end services like MANGOPAY are coping with this constantly evolving landscape.

Gartner state, organisations are increasing selective outsourcing as Digital Transformation increases and drives new demands for services to be introduced and the finance industry is at the forefront of this evolution. These new service providers need control and management if their delivery is to be transformative and cost-effective. Service Integration (SIAM) in Enetrprise Service Management (ESM) keeps outsourcing accountable and aligned to the terms of SLAs, OLAs and underpinning contracts.

There is no doubt: the world is digital! And banking customers are changing their behaviour based on the experiences they have on their daily digital journey.

Nevertheless, today‘s customers adapt their expectations around digital applications based on the experience they have with leading social networks, global marketplaces, and their favourite online-stores. But it’s not only the adoption of new behaviours that are disrupting customers’ expectations. 67 per cent of the next generation’s banking customers will be digital natives. And these customers also expect their solutions to be available anytime and anywhere. This presents an exciting opportunity to build your bank around your customer!

But as banking on the fly turns into a commodity, industry newcomers change the way traditional banking is done. For established financial service providers, this can be a threat.

In this talk, G+D’ Digital Payments expert Alastair Thompson will give hands-on examples on the need for device-agnostic, digitalized payment services. And how to turn disruption into innovation and carve out new revenue streams.
