Fintech Connect North America 2022 | FinTech Connect | 15 March 2022 | Virtual Event

FinTech Connect North America is where teams from major financial institutions go to benchmark digital transformation efforts, make informed buying decisions on the latest innovations on the market, and where fintechs come to accelerate dialogues with digital buyers with responsibility across digital transformation, payments, financial security, regtech and blockchain.

The past year has seen an unprecedented change within the financial technologies industry. New trends in fintech as well as business and consumer behaviour have driven a paradigm shift, which had been years in the making.

Investment in emerging technologies and partnerships is at an all-time high; the build, buy or partner strategy becoming a central discussion among financial institutions and merchants.

FinTech Connect North America brings together global leaders at the vanguard of this change to discuss, debate and evangelise the future of financial technology. You will not hear from the usual grey men in suits or overpaid consultants but the actual industry disruptors who are leading FinTech into the post COVID age.
