Hot coral cards, instant money transfers, sleek onboarding, and mega funding rounds. Take yourself back to the 2010s and the fintech hype train was in full effect!

Now the industry has grown up and handles more of our money than ever before – the pendulum is shifting on these ‘disruptors’ who now face much of the same pressures as the big boys of banking.

So, does fintech continue to exist if their risk appetite shrinks? 

Our expert host, Marit Rødevand, is joined by Craig McLeod, Head of UK Financial Crime Compliance, FTI Consulting to reveal: how fintech grows up and gets compliant!

The pair discuss: the perception of compliance in fintech’s global rise, how fintechs and payments providers balance compliance with innovation, and what happens to the future of fintech and payments as the fines comes raining down!
