The Fintech Magazine Issue #32

The Fintech Magazine is back!

If you’re looking for in depth thought leadership on some of the hottest and most important topics in fintech, look no further than our magazine. This is where we keep the very best of our interviews and journalistic insight and it’s available in print and digital format.

Issue 32 is yet another stellar collection of great interviews and articles. To start with we’ve got an inside look at the making of Money20/20 Europe, the conference everyone wants to be at. Which also happens to be where you can grab a physical copy of this fine publication, so if you’re there, keep your eyes peeled!

Digital nomads, DACH e-commerce, and Banking Trends

What else is inside?

Our cover star is always a fintech company that are doing special things.

This time it’s iGCB, Intellect’s Global Consumer Banking unit, who are playing an integral role in transforming the way banks operate. Their CEO, Rajesh Saxena, told us about five key trends he sees driving technology change at the heart of banks. Read on to find out more.

We also love to hear from the fintech’s giving something back. In our last edition we looked at the role FIS’s accelerator has played in bolstering and supporting fintech growth and this time we hear more about their strategy for delivering innovative solutions for customers. A number of key FIS insiders give us the lowdown on how they do partnerships.

Digital nomads and how to serve them in the area of banking is also a major focus in this issue. Dutch neobank Bunq has recognised this growing consumer segment and their Chief of Staff, Bianca Zwart, talks to us about their goal to be the bank they take with them.

The growing popularity of this lifestyle, has also exposed the gaps in insurance and banking provision these travelling workers face. This problem and some of the ways it might be solved through fintech are covered in a fascinating report from Natalie Marchant.

There’s also a very interesting segment on our increasingly cashless society and the Payment Choice Alliance’s manifesto for businesses to continue accepting cash. With no shortage of people using cash in the UK, they’re encouraging the UK to rethink the wisdom of getting rid of it.

Finally, our other big focus for this issue is the future of e-commerce particularly in the DACH region. We get some thoughts on this from Nexi, who we’re working with to uncover the changes happening in this diverse but interconnected European market. Key players tell us what’s needed to increase innovation and we speak to payment specialists, website pros and merchants themselves to find out what their role in the value chain is.

You won’t be short of reading material and you’re bound to find something of interest, no matter your specialism, so pick up a copy if you can, or simply read it online
