Master Class “Fintech in the current post-covid uncertain times”

Master Class Description

The exceptional circumstances of a pandemic, with more than three billion people quarantined and mobility restricted for many months over the globe, had a significant impact in all aspects of our lives, and sped up digitalisation, remote work or adoption of digital signature, regtech or cybersecurity. While that was a boost for many fintechs, the current high inflation and uncertainty environment is cooling investment and growth of the sector.

Some Financial sectors will have to rethink their business models, as car Insurance or neobanks, while others will have a unique opportunity to grow or become mainstream, such as biometric payments, consumer lending or wealth management, as people change the way they consume and invest, becoming more educated and socially conscious.

As said by Churchill, "never waste a good crisis".
