Evolving finance: catching the next wave of fintech innovation

Digital transformation and innovations in fintech are reshaping the financial sector. A 2023 Boston Consulting Group report estimates that the fintech sector will reach US$ 1.5 trillion in annual revenue by 2030, almost 25 per cent of banking revenue worldwide. From payment services to B2B and B2B2X, fintech innovations will continue to shake up markets and present new opportunities to help meet unsatisfied needs for financial services. At the same time, new players will be able to grow by adopting and adapting fintech technologies and business models into their structures.
What are the latest digital technologies affecting financial services? What are the associated risks and opportunities? And how can we mobilise these to expand access to financial services? This panel will focus on some of the latest trends in fintech and digital transition opportunities for financial institutions.
