Fintech and trusted payment service provider Paynetics is hosting its third roundtable on the future of fintech, held virtually via Zoom on the 8th December, from 12-1:30PM (GMT).
A recent Financial Times Focus report revealed how banks may be on the brink of extinction. Technology, customer focus and a real social purpose can still save them.
Blue Train Marketing’s latest blog details the necessary steps that you must follow when creating a fintech brand name. From competitor research to your brand’s purpose, you must take it all into consideration.
Exploring the huge rise of Buy Now Pay Later solutions, and what it means for the industry and the consumer.
Exploring the growth of Banking as a Service – and what it means for the industry.
Embedded Finance has become one of the hottest issues in the fintech space. The term was coined by Angela Strange at VC firm Andreessen Horowitz who also asserted that in the future “every company will be a fintech company” because every company will be able to embed financial services. But does that really mean every company will be a fully-fledged fintech company just because they have embedded financial services? Vicki Gladstone, Moorwand CEO, doesn’t think so.
Kani is now integrated with many of the world’s payments data processors – this, combined with its data and processor-agnostic approach, and the fact that Kani can easily and quickly ingest data from the multiple processors, banks and BIN sponsors that payment and fintech companies work with, makes onboarding and working with Kani fast and efficient. Raw data files in different formats can be imported and reconciled in just a few minutes, and parsed into much more understandable reports.
A dynamic landscape and the unprecedented pace of change make for an exciting and demanding marketplace, increasing the need for Capacity, Cost, and Competition. James Hodgson and Tim Tor from NatWest talk with Chris Peck of Bottomline and Teresa Connors of Payment Matters about the effectiveness of partnerships and collaborations and the difference it makes in better-serving customers.
Bottomline, a leading provider of financial technology that makes business payments simple, smart and secure, announced the latest API-based payments tracking service for banks worldwide, integrating SWIFTgpi data. The gpi data is captured on behalf of Bottomline clients and is integrated into their payments workflow, which simplifies and unifies the API access points.
The fintech industry is ultra-competitive and growth-oriented by nature. Even during the height of the pandemic, a time of suppressed economic activity, fintechs not only prevailed but also expanded operations and improved access to financial services across the globe.
As the world continues adapting to the pandemic, sales growth for the financial services industry has even more room to run. Payments, wealth management, asset exchanges — consumers expect these activities to be digital. They have an expanding appetite for new features and product differentiation, spurring even more competition and growth among fintech firms.
Long story short, it’s a good time to be in the fintech space.
But what happens when fintechs, like payment providers, grow too fast?

To say that the global payments business is changing might be an understatement. In the past few years, the global market has seen a significant transformation in the modes of payment transactions,
Whenever a transaction was made, One Point Universal co-founder Jack Cui or his colleagues would be called by their bank to personally sanction the transaction. This was proving to be extremely time-consuming and complicated. Worse, their clients weren’t getting their funds in the time that One Point Universal had promised: integrity and transparency are very important to One Point Universal’s founders.
The bank wasn’t nearly flexible enough, it was very old-fashioned, complex, expensive, and slow.
In early 2021 One Point Universal looked for a new partner. They chose Currencycloud.
Planet, a global integrated payments leader, has announced it’s been selected by Champneys to provide a fully integrated suite of Hospitality payments services on a single all-in-one platform across its UK luxury hotels, health spas and resorts.

Covid-19 changed many things, including the security landscape. Remote work and the onslaught of digital services that accompanied it brought a digital transformation the world was not expecting. While it has affected the way people work in many positive ways, it has also led them to be more vulnerable to cyber attacks. To minimise this risky exposure and establish a new benchmark for protection, it’s time companies dig deep into the conversation of future-proof security.
Diversity has become the new normal in fast evolving industries like payment & fintech. Next to the obvious types of diversity, what if you had a metric to select the optimal people for your team, and the role you want them to play in the team no matter what their cultural or hard skill related background is?
When developing or growing a dynamic team in a fast-growing company, considering the optimal interpersonal strength profiles and finding the optimal balance, can be a catalyst to improve the team’s performance. Within the Fintech industry, the ever changing environment demands team members to grow and develop their interpersonal skills in order to achieve targets in a seamless and effective manner.

As we have noted in the past, federal regulation of the digital asset/cryptocurrency/DeFi community is evolving and there are many perspectives on what direction it should take. For instance, earlier this week, the House Democratic leadership and a group of moderate House Democrats agreed to a compromise that would prevent the House of Representatives from amending the Senate-passed “Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act” (H.R. 3684), thereby preserving the bill’s provisions expanding the definition of “broker” under the Internal Revenue Code to apply to various digital asset market participants.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) has issued a “Request for Information and Comment on Digital Assets” (RFI) to learn more about the “novel and unique considerations related to digital assets….[g]iven that banks are increasingly exploring the emerging digital asset ecosystem.” A key theme of the RFI is the development of a framework to promote “responsible innovation.”

On 22 June 2021, HM Treasury (HMT) confirmed that it will take forward legislation to introduce a gateway for the approval of financial promotions of unauthorised persons. Once the gateway is in place, only firms which have successfully applied to the FCA to approve financial promotions will be permitted to approve the financial promotions of unauthorised persons.
Compliance with regulatory requirements regarding the approval of financial promotions has been a recent supervisory concern for the FCA, especially in circumstances where the products being marketed are complex and targeted at the retail market, and the FCA has issued a number of letters and publications setting out concerns and guidance for authorised firms approving financial promotions
