Fabrizio is the Co-Founder & Head of Growth at Fintastico, curating a comprehensive database of of FinTech services and FinTech news to address the financial needs of consumers, retailers, enterprises and financial institutions, with a primary focus on European and North American FinTech startups. Following their recent funding round, they are working hard to become a FinTech aggregator, leveraging Open APIs to create a consumer-centric one-stop-shop for all things FinTech.

As an Italian who studied in Amsterdam and moved into a FinTech job in Barcelona in 2013, quite a bit of our conversation centers around the Italian and Spanish financial services and FinTech markets. Why are BBVA and Banco Santander doing so well in the innovation space, compared to the Italian (and for that matter, German) incumbents? 

Fintastico is also co-hosting a business match making & conference event on May 27 & 28, which is available for free using the following link:
