New applications that sit at a legal gray area for financing innovative companies. Excited investors pouring in millions and millions of capital. Regulators and policy makers trying to understand the new models and introduce investor safeguards as well as industry guidelines. Financial institutions watching by the sidelines, evaluating what their next move will be and how to respond. The year is 2010 and everyone is excited about the prospect of crowdfunding.
The fintech industry has grown exponentially in the past few years and along with that the number of events and conferences covering topics related to financial technology. Here we have compiled a list of those we think are the fintech events that you can’t miss in 2018. We bet this is the best list that you can find around!
January 10, 2018 – As part of capitalizing on its market success and strategic developments, Crowd Valley will now be known as Difitek (www.difitek.com). Following the growth of the digital finance market, the company has a full offering through its back office and API for a wide range of financial offerings, such as online lending, online investing, trading, cryptocurrencies and ICOs, neobanks, energy and real estate applications.
We recently had the pleasure to have a conversation with Angel Lorente, an Executive Director for Morgan Stanley’s Institutional Securities Group Finance Division and the Global Treasury Capital Markets Controller. In 2013, Angel was named to Diversity MBA Magazine’s Top 100 Under 50 Diverse Executives. While it was 2016 when he started independently advising and mentoring fintech businesses and entrepreneurs. Fascinated by this flourishing industry he created FinTech Connector, to help connect Fintech entrepreneurs with fintech thought-leaders, enablers and investors to innovate financial services. This interview is the first of a series that we will publish with global fintech leaders. We hope you will enjoy it.
Tokenization has become a key trend with digital currencies and cryptostrategies in financial services. Tokens seem to be raising hundreds of millions in real time left and right. For an existing financial services firm, should you look at a token strategy and if so, how should you look at it?
With the advent of PSD2 in Europe, financial services companies have embarked on their Open Banking initiatives, which are set for full swing in 2018. Banks have been writing and exposing APIs for third parties to pull data and perform actions on the banks platforms through these APIs in order to provide more customer facing service innovation. For many banks this is the final step for complying with the PSD2 regulation, but the reality is that it’s only the very first step in the total transformation to an open financial services ecosystem.
Creating the Europe-wide framework for alternative finance is the ambitious objective of the European Commission (EC) with a new legislative proposal, part of the Capital Market Union action plan approved in 2015, that is now at the assessment stage and open for comments and feedback from the interested parties, until November 27, 2017.
A great disruption is underway in financial services, yet it’s still open who will come out on top in each distinct category of offerings. Will it be the institutions modernizing their fundamental approach to financial services or will it be digital native, technology firms that enter the sector to give clients the service they want?
Crowd Valley is invited to speak at the Future of AI in Finance, part of the Hong Kong Fintech Week 2017, the leading financial technology event in Asia, that will take place on October 26 and 27, with over 3,000 senior financial executives and business leaders from more than 30 countries.
