Amidst one of the most turbulent periods in modern history, the Summit will consider the role of financial innovation in the socio-economic recovery.

The pandemic dramatically accelerated the shift to mobile banking, digital channels and cashless payments systems and increased engagement with a range of Fintech services. But it also highlighted the fragility of our economic system, and the crucial requirement for fast, frictionless finance.

The conference will reflect on the evolution of financial technology against this backdrop of volatility; considering the key trends, challenges and market disruptions, and discussing the opportunity for Fintech to help customers manage the cost of living crisis and help the country to build back better.

 Core conference topics: 

• Landscape: Cost of Living Crisis, Financial Health, Sustainability

• Customer Strategy: Engagement, Inclusion, UX, Data Insight   

• Emerging Tech: Advanced Analytics, AI, ML, RPA, Blockchain, Mobile

• Regulation: GDPR, MiFID II, PSD2, Open Banking

• Infrastructure: IT, Security, Digitalisation, Cloud, Mobile, XaaS

Scotland’s leading and most anticipated tech conference will once again be held at the EICC on Thursday 26th September.
