Despite the devastation and loss of life the COVID-19 pandemic has caused, a lot has been happening in the fintech world. Innovation in the space continues with new applications that provide access to economic support programs, such as Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loans in the United States and Countingup, a scheme that provides government grants to the self-employed in the U.K. Consumer adoption of fintech apps has also risen rapidly – over 70% by some accounts – since the onset of the virus (http://nnw.fm/lcJT9). All of this shows that fintech is alive and well, as participants in the Finovate FinTech Halftime Review will discover.
This year’s event – held virtually for the first time ever – is scheduled for June 22-26, 2020, and will encompass five full days of webinars, videos, white papers, e-magazines and more, with a new hot topic covered each day and all content accessible online. The Finovate FinTech Halftime Review will appraise the industry’s current condition on the premise that “if you don’t know where you’re coming from, it’s hard to know where you’re heading.”
The Finovate FinTech Halftime Review will look at the latest developments in payments, fraud and cybercrime prevention, loan and deposit apps, and wealth-management solutions. Payment technologies (PayTech), particularly, are increasing consumer choice and taking market share from traditional providers. One subheading in American Banker tells the story ‘Bankers see payments firms as fintech enemy number one’ (http://nnw.fm/ZJf69).
