Innovation in Financial Services

Bo Harald Chairman/Founding member, board member at Trust Infra for Real Time Economy Prgrm & MyData,

There are no corporate customers.. only Mr Same Guy

And no private customers either - just human customers in several roles. A legal person has btw never done anything. So remember this when you create services.

All-Encompassing Lending Platform for the Poor?

Is that arrogant enough? But what if we could create a generalized digital lending platform that is specifically designed for the needs of the world’s poorest people? Is that remotely possible? What might it look like? This blog takes a high-level shot at this – not because I think have all the answers (duh!) but in the hope that it will generate s...
