Georgia is nice . I mean not the US state but the country — former USSR republic. Sweet home for the Caucasus Mountain villages and the Black Sea beaches. Delicious, dizzy and soulful place in memory of its visitors. But you can’t get by without laris (₾) here. Even though many of cafes, stores and hotels accept bank cards, and most of them suppor

As society moves towards an even deeper reliance on social media, the distinction between one’s private life, social media life and professional life is increasingly skewered and distorted.

Banks today are no strangers to wake-up calls. They come thick and fast in trade journals. They frame the digital transformation discussion.

Face the music There are times when the power within a trend is not self-evident. It can appear to be a passing tremor in the status quo, rather than a movement or a development or a growing force that can possibly change not just how things are done but how the world perceives them.

Dear Sallie, My name is Miriam Ballesteros, a 29-year-old from Barcelona who never really considered herself much of an advocate for women until starting to work in FinTech. I was first introduced to you by Asya Bradley and Sara Koslinska at Money2020. They mentioned you, and what you bring to the table through Ellevest: a platform that aims to s

The annual conference brought together more than 250 women for two days of interactive panels, networking and plenary sessions. Its aim?

I have heard that HM Treasury is considering removing tax benefits to those investing in start-up companies, EIS and SEIS. This must be avoided at all costs. The financial technology industry (Fintech) has grown rapidly in the UK in the last decade, stimulated by five factors: 1. Entrepreneurial talent 2. Favourable regulatory backdrop 3. Willingne...

Andrew Beatty Head of Wealth, Retirement & International at FIS
Both in life and in banking technology, few have the luxury to start over with a clean slate. Banks usually have to build upon the investments (and mistakes) of prior years. Banks built their entire business eco‑system around core banking solutions and technology that were designed, developed, and enhanced over the last 3 decades. These solutions ...

Market research and focus groups are proven to be effective ways to collect important customer feedback, and can be an integral part of a product’s success or failure. Customer feedback–especially direct, straight-from-their-own-mouth–tells companies what it is that they want, and allows businesses to improve their products, services, strategies, ...
