The Future of Fintech: A Panel Discussion

The only thing finite about the world of financial technology is the infinite quest for creating more secure and accessible solutions. Financial technology, often shortened to FinTech, is centered around new technology and innovation that provides financial institutions the opportunity to make their services more accessible to their end users. FaceID to unlock your favorite smartphone banking app? QuickPay with Zelle to quickly pay your fantasy football debt? Real-time tracking of your financial activity as you move around the world? That’s just the beginning! Ready or not, things are changing.

Join us for a stimulating panel discussion that will cover everything from lending and payments to fraud prevention, and more. Our expert panelists can help you stay ahead of the trends, opportunities, and challenges that are predicted in the years ahead, as institutions around the globe look to gain a more competitive stance.
