Paving the way for financial inclusion and education for kids.

Recently I had the pleasure of interviewing two amazing and inspirational women in leadership: Louise Hill, Founder and COO of GoHenry and Silvia Mensdorff-Pouilly, SVP of Banking Solutions for FIS for our new Talk Show series.
Our interview focussed on the incredible partnership between GoHenry and FIS in which FIS has been providing card processing, card management and risk and fraud monitoring services to GoHenry, which has helped GoHenry reach the impressive milestone of 2 million members this year. Louise and Silvia talked about what goes into making a successful partnership and what it takes to be an entrepreneur but they also touched on some other ESG themes which are becoming increasingly important in our times: those of financial inclusion and why it is so important in today’s society and the importance of helping our kids achieve financial literacy in the digital age where money is becoming ever more intangible. Also, they discussed the efforts of FIS and GoHenry to achieve environmental sustainability and the importance of diversity in our board rooms and the workplace, emotional well-being and maintaining a work-life balance.
So I invite you to click through and listen to our online interview to learn more at https://empower1.fisglobal.com/GoHenry.html and please do come and talk to us if you are looking for an innovative partner of choice who will help power your business to fulfill its potential.
Julie Streeter Brenez, Head of Field Marketing, Europe

Establishing Trust Anchors: The Link Between SCA and KYC

Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) is something we’ve covered many times. And while SCA is an important topic, required by regulators and considered best-practice in terms of security, SCA by itself is not enough to secure a transaction. In addition to doing SCA correctly, you also have to know exactly who you’re identifying – and that is where “know your customer” (KYC) comes into play. As such, in this post, we’ll look into how SCA and KYC are connected, review some of their challenges, and consider what the link between the two might look like in the future.
