We’re four and a half months into 2021, and we’re already starting to see the fintech and banking industries shake off the 2020 mindset.
That’s not to say that companies have left behind their digital agendas that took precedence last year. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Banks and fintechs have transitioned to apply the lessons they learned amid the massive growth period last year into new initiatives.
So what new frontiers does the industry have its eye on? I took an early look at some of the trends beginning to emerge at our upcoming FinovateSpring conference, taking place digitally May 10 through 13.
Here are the top three themes from the discussion sessions:
- Embedded finance and banking-as-a-service
- The ESG initiative
- CBDCs and digital currencies
In addition to these, experts will be discussing themes from previous years, including customer experience, AI, digital transformation, and faster payments – as well as fringe topics such as quantum computing.
Taking a look at content from the developer-focused track, FinDEVr, we’ll see an in-depth look at the technology behind open banking, customer onboarding, lending-as-a-service, and customer experience and design. FinDEVr will take place on May 13.
