Future of Payments: Insights for 2022
About the class
Fintech, a portmanteau for “financial technology”, refers to software, algorithms and applications for both computer and mobile-based tools. In some cases, it includes hardware, too—like smart, connected piggy banks or virtual reality (VR) trading platforms. Advances in the fintech sector allow consumers to have unprecedented insights, control, and options with the management of their finances.
Fintech platforms enable run-of-the-mill tasks like depositing checks, moving money among accounts, paying bills or applying for financial aid. They also encompass technically intricate concepts like peer-to-peer lending or crypto exchanges. Fintech has use cases across nearly every industry, geographical market and business model.
Watch this dynamic virtual discussion, led by our two experts, Jose Graca, Strategic Gobal Expert in Economics, CEO and CMO of Bizmoni, and Kenneth A. Goodwin Jr., Managing General Partner of Jeanensis Ventures and the 144 TrailBlazer Fund, as they discuss what the payment trends will look like in 2022 from their own experience in the FinTech world.
